Product Description
Enter the spellbinding world of dragons . . . and those who tend them One of the most gifted fantasy authors writing today, New York Times bestselling author Robin Hobb has dazzled readers with brilliantly imaginative, emotionally resonant, and compulsively readable tales set in far-flung realms not unlike our own. In this enthralling new novel, she returns to the territory of her beloved Liveship Traders and Tawny Man trilogies with a story of dragons and humans, return and rebirth, and the search for meaning, belonging, and home.

I’m about half way through this droll read. Lot of words. Very little content… I picked it up because I’d heard good things about the author. I’m very disappointed. I really didn’t know there was such a thing as a “chick book” (except for those romantic “novels”) but this has to be one.

Once I had picked this book up I was trapped by a vivid story of the serpemts/dragons demise and the intricate story of different races and interactions. The only slightly odd aside within the story was the pigeon post between towns that I found to be slightly destractimg and totally un-needed as far as the story line went. I hadn’t realised it was the first of a trilogy and not a story with a satisfactory ending as it left you at the start of a Dragons journy. Now I need the next book before i’ve forgotten the imtracasies of the first. Come on Robin when is it due!
Rating: 4 / 5
just not that good. the characters are pretty uninteresting compared to the other trilogies. and frankly i do not like the dragons at all.
Rating: 3 / 5
Yes, I still gave it four stars, because I liked it, but it was much shorter and less complex than her previous works. The Kindle formatting was pretty bad, too.
