![]() ![]() And her wide variety of characters, and in particular her representations of women, were excellent. I adored the Farseer & Tawny Man series from Hobb, and her writing style was perfectly fine in those. This is a good story, but the writing does it absolutely no justice. I'm only about a quarter through this book, but it is frustrating me so much that I have to vent my feelings. ![]() So, though I stand by my low rating and negative review of Dragon Keeper, I would recommend you push through it and read the rest of the series, because I adored the second book.***** The improvement from the first book is almost miraculous. *****I just wanted to say that I have finished the second book, Dragon Haven. and joys beyond their wildest imaginings. And on an extraordinary odyssey with no promise of return, many lessons will be learned-as dragons and tenders alike experience hardships, betrayals. Thymara, an unschooled forest girl, and Alise, wife of an unloving and wealthy Trader, are among the disparate group entrusted with escorting the dragons to their new home. If neglected, the creatures will rampage-or die-so it is decreed that they must move farther upriver toward Kelsingra, the mythical homeland whose location is locked deep within the dragons' uncertain ancestral memories. The Traders have forgotten their promises, weary of the labor and expense of tending earthbound dragons who were hatched weak and deformed by a river turned toxic. But it was a good start, and I’m interested to see where it goes.For a limited time, experience the beginning of the Rain Wilds Chronicles series at a special price, including bonus excerpts from other books in the series.In Dragon Keeper, too much time has passed since the powerful dragon Tintaglia helped the people of the Trader cities stave off an invasion of their enemies. Just something to be continued in the next book. The ending was very abrupt and caught me off guard. There are a few different point-of-view characters, but their stories converged soon enough, which I appreciated. ![]() Some characters are more good and some more bad, but they are all three dimensional with their own motivations that make sense. But you definitely at least need to read that trilogy first, if not all the other previous Robin Hobb books. It sorta continues the story from the earlier Liveship Traders trilogy, but with new characters. Review 3: Dragon Keeper – The Rain Wild Chronicles Book 1 by Matt & Carla Good start and continuation from Liveship Traders I do wish the two stories could be separated so that one could choose which story to read. “B” will confound where to shelve the books. “A” could appeal to younger readers who love dragons. Storyline B is about men hiding their true love identity. Storyline A is a relatively slow-moving and introspective tale of dragons and their keepers – all finding their identity. Review 2: Dragon Keeper – The Rain Wild Chronicles Book 1 by Bruce Great Dragon Tale boring “Harlequin” romanceīooks one and two weave two storylines. I feel kind of ripped off as now I have to buy two new books if I want to listen to them again □ After some online research seems audible has released this again with a new narrator. I knew that I have heard this book before, but the release date was 2020, and I listened years ago. ![]() I was so confused as I was listening to this. Seems you maybe able to start here if you’d like, but I think I like it more because of the other Robin Hobb series of books that I have already listened to. This is not the first book I would read if I were just starting to listen to Robin Hobb’s books. Review 1: Dragon Keeper – The Rain Wild Chronicles Book 1 by Rachel MomWifeRT I knew I have already listened to this! Here are the top 3 reviews and comments that readers love about this fascinating book. The Traders promised to help her snakes migrate to the Rain Wild River after a long exile at sea. Traders could not stop the invasion without the powerful dragon, Tintaglia. The Trader’s Cities bravely fought their enemies, the Chalcedeans. Dragon Keeper is the first book in The Rain Wild Chronicles series by author Robin Hobb. ![]()
