The entire storyline in this book took place in the Rain Wild section of the world and plot-wise, the first book has a very simple premise. Dragon Keeper is the first book in the Rain Wild Chronicles quartet, which also marks the beginning of the fourth out of five subseries within Hobb’s The Realm of the Elderlings series.
#A DRAGON KEEPER SERIES#
moreģ.5/5 stars A good foundational start to a quartet but it’s also the weakest start within any of Hobb's series so far. (P.S: do not read this series unless you have read the previous trilogies in the 'realm of the elderling' series.). Sometimes, if you forget something, it's because it's better forgotten. Better editing was much needed in this book, as this book was slower than her other books. But that grew too long and was divided into two. What I heard the first and second books in the series were written as one book. But still, as she has set some new characters in this series, the background of their life I missed. Loved Hobb's flawed character setting as she always put her characters through terrible hardships. In this tale, human-dragon-keepers were set out on a quest to find safety for the malformed newly hatched dragons.
Imaginary, vivid the story and slow-paced writing were. What I heard th The Dragon Keeper (Rain Wild Chronicles,#1 Realm of the Elderlings,#10) by Robin Hobb The Dragon Keeper (Rain Wild Chronicles,#1 Realm of the Elderlings,#10) by Robin Hobb Imaginary, vivid the story and slow-paced writing were. To be a dragon keeper is a dangerous job: their charges are vicious and unpredictable, and there are many unknown perils: none are expected to return, or even survive.more But they cannot get there on their own: a band of dragon keepers, hunters and chroniclers must attend them.
Perhaps there the dragons will find their true home. Soon, they are seen as a danger and a burden: something must be done.įar upriver, so far it is shown on no map, lies the legendary Elderling city of Kelsingra - Or so it is believed. Some do not even have wings others seem witless and bestial. Leftrin, captain of the liveship Tarman, also has an interest in the hatching as does Bingtown newlywed Alise Finbok, who has made it her life's work to study all there is to know of dragons.īut the creatures which emerge from the cocoons are a travesty of the powerful, shining dragons of old. Like everyone else, Thymara is fascinated by the return of the dragons: it is as if they symbolise the return of hope to their war-torn world. But her father saved her and her mother has never forgiven him. Born with black claws and other abhorrences, she should have been exposed at birth. People are changed by the Rain Wilds, subtly or otherwise. With its acid waters and noxious airs, it is a hard place for anyone to survive. Guided by the great blue dragon Tintaglia, they came from the sea: a Tangle of serpents fighting their way up the Rain Wild River: the first to make the perilous journey to the cocooning grounds in generations.
