I think he’ll get his dragon to fly very soon. I like how light-hearted and carefree he seems to be and his dedication to his dragon. We don’t get much of him in this book, but I believe he will become more important later. He’s a fucking asshole who needs to be dropped in the Rain Wild River when it’s flowing white as milk.Īnother favorite character is Rapskal. I love how dedicated she is to studying dragons and that she’s stronger than the Bingtown folk imagine her to be.
I think I’m going to love watching how her character develops as the story progresses because already I admire the chances she has taken and her ballsiness. Of the characters, I immediately took a liking to Alise Kincarron. We are introduced to new characters, the majority of whom are native to the Rain Wilds, and even glimpse some characters for the previous books like Malta and Althea and the liveship Paragon, who still seems conflicted but less so. I enjoyed reading Dragon Keeper though it was obvious that it’s function is only to lay the foundation for the larger story to come.
#Dragon keeper pictures full
It went down easy despite being descriptive and full of imagery that made me yearn to see a picture of the Rain Wilds or visit the place myself. I was a little ambivalent about this book because the Liveship Traders ones took a while for me to get into because the writing there felt a bit overworked and difficult to digest, but in Dragon Keeper, the writing reminded me of the Farseer and Tawney Man books. Oh man! It’s good to be back in Hobb’s world. Not only can she marry into a wealthy family and appease her parents, especially her mother, but she can continue to pursue her study of dragons, afford expensive scrolls, and maybe even visit the exotic Rain Wilds one day to see the newly hatched dragons to study them. But one day, she receives a marriage proposal that’s too good to be true or to believe. She foresees that she will become an old maid because of her plain looks, abundant freckles, and family status, but has resigned herself to such a fate if only she can study dragons and become known as an expert on dragons. In turn, this causes an obstacle for the people of the Rain Wilds who realize that the Chalcedeans are devising deceitful ways to infiltrate the Rain Wilds and get at the dragons.Īnd while all this is going on, a young Bingtown woman with a keen interest in dragons is considering what the future holds for her. Someone whispered in his ear that dragon properties - scale, blood, stuff like that - can help heal him, so he’s pressured his sailors to secure some for him. Meanwhile, the leader of Chalced is ailing. Tintaglia abandons them and leaves the responsibility to the people of the Rain Wilds to care for the deformed dragons (so it seems), but the dragons are a nuisance to their human neighbors, so the Rain Wild Council devise a way to get rid of them that would also purge the Rain Wilds of folks considered undesirable. Instead, they are deformed, weak, and unable to hunt to feed themselves. Despite the efforts of the dragon Tintaglia and the people of the Rain Wilds and Bingtown, the serpents that cocooned themselves in the Rain Wilds were too weak, too small, and too late to hatch as full grown dragons. The dragon eggs have hatched! Finally the skies will be filled with dragons again…or so the characters hope.
WE’RE READING ANOTHER ROBIN HOBB BOOK!!!! 😀 😀 And so far it’s great, of course! Me and Emily from Embuhlee liest are back at it again.
