Dragon Keeper (The Rain Wild Chronicles, Book 1)
Dragon Keeper (The Rain Wild Chronicles, Book 1) | Robin Hobb
50 posts | 63 read | 56 to read
Fantasy as it ought to be written George R.R. Martin Return to the world of the Liveships Traders and journey along the Rain Wild River in this fantastic adventure from the author of the internationally acclaimed Farseer trilogy. Guided by the great blue dragon Tintaglia, they came from the sea: a Tangle of serpents fighting their way up the Rain Wilds River, the first to make the perilous journey to the cocooning grounds in generations. Many have died along the way. With its acid waters and impenetrable forest, it is a hard place for any to survive. People are changed by the Rain Wilds, subtly or otherwise. One such is Thymara. Born with black claws and other aberrations, she should have been exposed at birth. But her father saved her and her mother has never forgiven him. Like everyone else, Thymara is fascinated by the return of dragons: it is as if they symbolise the return of hope to their war-torn world. 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. But the creatures which emerge from the cocoons are a travesty of the powerful, shining dragons of old. Stunted and deformed, they cannot fly; some seem witless and bestial. Soon, they become a danger and a burden to the Rain Wilders: something must be done. The dragons claim an ancestral memory of a fabled Elderling city far upriver: perhaps there the dragons will find their true home. But Kelsingra appears on no maps and they cannot get there on their own: a band of dragon keepers, hunters and chroniclers must attend them. To be a dragon keeper is a dangerous job: their charges are vicious and unpredictable, and there are many unknown perils on the journey to a city which may not even exist...

500+ pages and just when you feel like maybe, just maybe, the pacing is going to pick up- bam. The book is over and you are expected to pick up the next doorstopper. No thanks.

"The thought burned in her like molten iron and suddenly hardened into cold resolve. She was not going to be 'allowed' to do anything. Never again would she submit to being 'allowed' or 'not allowed'. She would follow her resolve if it killed her. For being killed by it would certainly be better than going home and dying of not being allowed to follow her dream."

OKAY I AM OFFICIALLY HOOKED ON THIS SERIES! I NEED TO START BOOK TWO ASAP! ???

Pure magic! I was hesitant to start this series as I didn‘t want to take a break from Fitz and his story, but this was so good!
I got so invested in the story and the characters.
Most are new characters and some we get to see again from the Liveship Traders books, which was fun.
The new characters are just as amazing, interesting, despicable and wonderful as what we have already experienced from Robin Hobb. I can‘t wait to start the next one!

If you have difficulty reading about a young person being seduced by a predator, a woman choosing married to try to escape poverty and isolation in a traditional patriarchal society, and dragons (and humans) who are not born “healthy” or “viable” dealing with being abandoned/killed/shunned, do not read this book. If you can deal with a heart wrenching story full of self delusion and struggle towards self realization/hope, read this book.

AiBBot There is no resolutions to any issues by the end of this book. I feel exhausted and I need to read another light read before continuing this series that hits so close to home in so many ways. It is brilliant. 5y

For being partially narrated by a dragon this was seriously lacking in dragons.
The characters were descently fleshed out but I didn't connect with any of them. I found the writing quite repetitive, lots of over explaining.
The world building was done well but I don't think I'll continue with the series.
This should have a Trigger Warning for sexual asult.

4/10 💫

Reading a Robin Hobb novel feels a bit like coming home ❤️ This was a good introduction to new characters and new plot lines, but it did feel a bit just like that - an introduction. Also, the writing felt a bit more repetitive than I remember from Hobb‘s other novels. However, it had me gripped from the first page, and I loved getting to know more about the dragons and the Rain Wild people. And I‘m feeling some strong female MCs in the making! 💪

Sophoclessweetheart I love Robin Hobb. 🖤 I always feel this way about Terry Pratchett. His books always feel like home x 6y

Kalalalatja @Mitch I love reading a Hobb series during the summer. This is the fourth one, and it doesn‘t follow Fitz and the Fool, but it follows the aftermath of the Liveship Traders Triology. At least I think so 6y

Soubhiville @Foragingfantasy I really like her. I believe she just writes series, but I can't say for sure... I've read the first books in three of them- Assassin's Apprentice , Ship of Magic, and now The Dragon Keeper. I have the second Ship book on my shelf and will probably get to it this year, lol! 7y
Foragingfantasy @Soubhiville Soubhi!!! You are awesome. Thank you so much! 7y
Soubhiville @Foragingfantasy ❤️ you're welcome! This is one of the more recent trilogies, so if you like it I'd look up which trilogy came first and go in order. I think all her books are in the same fantasy realm, but I'm not positive... and I think Assassin's Apprentice is her first book. 7y

This felt less like a book but the first part of a book, which I understand happens in series sometimes but really 400+ pages of set-up was a bit much, especially when it hasn't gotten me invested enough in either the story or the characters to make mere particularly interested in reading the next book.

For @RealLifeReading's #AprilBookShowers: #DropEverythingAndRead

As you can tell by the laundry in the background, Robin Hobb has overtaken my life. 😄
Today's photo challenge lines up with a #ReadingChallenge of my own. One of my goals this year is to read an author's entire bibliography, and so far I've read the stack on the left along with the standalone. I hope to finish the rest in the #RealmoftheElderlings before May's book release!

mrsthilkey Recommendations for someone who's never read any Hobb? Where to begin?! 7y
KCorter @Born.A.Reader Thanks! I don't think I have ever read every book by an author straight in a row. It is quite an undertaking... but I feel like I am starting to understand her as both a writer and a person. 7y
KCorter @jfalkens It was fantastic. ? Seriously though, it was so elegantly developed. I love character-driven stories, especially as a series. Robin Hobb's fascinating plots and skill at world-building set a stage for her characters to shine. Not once did the story drag, and that's an impressive feat for a trilogy. Fitz was one of the most "real" characters I have ever met. I could read 100 books about him and The Fool. 7y
jfalkens @KCorter Thank you 😊 maybe I'll have to take the copy from my husband's to-read pile and make sure he reads it too ☺ 7y
KCorter @mrsthilkey I started with Ship of Magic and read the Liveship Traders trilogy. I would suggest starting with Assassin's Apprentice. It is Robin Hobb's first book, and sets the stage for most of the other books she has written. I think I would have more fully appreciated the Liveship Traders if I had read The Farseer trilogy first. Piebald Prince is also a good stand-alone, since it is a tale referenced through the rest of her series. 7y
KCorter @annkuch13 Right?! Robin Hobb is my literary love. 7y
booksandsympathy I have these books but have never read them. They were given to me by my Uncle-in-law's ex wife. I'm sure I was just meant to borrow them, but I doubt I'll ever see her again. I will eventually get around to them. 7y
KCorter @jfalkens That's what I did! @acorter raved over Robin Hobb after reading the Farseer Trilogy. We even named our ferret after Fitz. 😊 I finally read The Liveship Traders on a whim last year, and I am so glad I did. In my very biased opinion, Robin Hobb may be the most talented (current) author in any genre. 7y
mrsthilkey Cool, thanks!! 7y
KCorter @booksandsympathy If you're like me, your TBR list is longer than your life. I highly recommend Robin Hobb though. Never have I read an author who can write so thoroughly and so engagingly on any subject. Culture, economics, politics, international relations, family dynamics, responsibility, honor, choice, fate, intrigue, adventure, magic... She weaves it all into her stories and I hang on every word. 7y
booksandsympathy @KCorter Yes, my tbr list is way too long. But since I do actually have these books on my shelf, that is a reminder to read them. I'm sure there are lots of books on my tbr that will fall by the wayside because it's difficult to find them. I don't really have an excuse with these. I'm slowly making my way through my bookshelves. 7y
KCorter @booksandsympathy That's what I am attempting to do this year too! So many of these books have been staring out at my from the bookshelves for years. I don't even know what treasures I've yet to discover. That's the fun of a book collection though. You know there is always something to read right at your fingertips. 😊 7y
elemenopew Oh my god. I remember when, a couple of years ago, I was a Robin Hob ZOMBIE. She was all I could read. Her books were all I could think about. I gave up so much sleep and everything else to finish these books and they were SO FREAKING WORTH IT. 7y
elemenopew Damnit, autocorrect. *Hobb 7y
KCorter @elemenopew That perfectly describes me right now! I am obsessed. I can't focus on anything else because I am absolutely lost in the world Robin Hobb has created. 7y
KCorter @elemenopew P.S. I totally have to correct my spelling mistakes as well. I think all of us word junkies will breate easier when Listy creates an "edit comment" function. Haha ? 7y
KCorter Case in point: *Breathe 7y
elemenopew @KCorter she reallly sucks you in, doesn't she? I haven't read the Rain Wild Chronicles yet, but Farseer and Tawny man just took over my world. The writing. The pace. Fitz and the Fool. AND OH GOD NIGHTEYES. 7y
elemenopew @KCorter haha, I reflexively looked for it and then had to remind myself we don't have that yet. 😅 7y
AlaMich I've read the Assassin and the Liveship trilogies. They were both great but I really loved Liveship. Agreed that one should start with Assassin. I'm looking forward to Rain Wild Chronicles and Tawny Man!👍 7y
KCorter @elemenopew I was so emotionally invested in Fitz and The Fool. I mean, probably to an unhealthy extent. 😄 and Nighteyes' sassiness was HILARIOUS. 7y
KCorter @AlaMich I loved the Liveship Traders. We revisit some of those characters in the Rain Wild Chronicles! I warn you though, the Tawny Man trilogy is an emotional ride. 7y

Loved this!!!!!

My journey through Hobbs Realm of the Elderlings continues. Read the first three trilogies last year and am finally on to the Rain Wilds quartet. It's been a long time that I've read a book this long in only a couple days.

At this rate I may actually be caught up by the time Asassins Fate comes out in May.

KCorter I'm trying to catch up in time for the release of Assassin's Fate as well! I just started this one today. :) 7y
Otherworld_Library I really loved the Rain Wilds quartet! I finished Fools Assassin and Fools Quest but didn't get around to reviewing them here. I liked the second one better than the first, which sort of felt like a book length prologue at times. But I'm all caught up and ready for Assassins Fate. @KCorter 7y

This was clearly not meant to be a standalone book. It's a bit slow to get going and only feels half way into the story by the time you get to the end. I'll have to read volume 2 to finish this story.

This would be a pick, except for the cliffhanger ending-it didn't feel like a natural place to stop. I don't remember Robin Hobb's other books ending this way- they still felt like complete stories.

I'm still really looking forward to reading the rest of this series though.

Finaly after hours of work my paper is finished! Now it's time to continue reading this lovely book. And I am in love with this candle, the wax is in little triangle shapes, it is so cute 💚 I got it yesterday as part of a gift for the end of my term on the study associatoin board. On to New challenges! But first... reading 📖

I had a lovely autumnal day today. Started of with some interesting college classes, followed by a walk past some bookshops and a walk in the forest, leaves falling.... And what better way to end this day than with a hot cup of tea and a fresh book 📖🍁🍂

RanaElizabeth Robin Hobb and dragons. 😍 7y
NovelGirl82 Sounds like a perfect day!! 7y
Tsubame Your post makes me remember my times at university. It was such a bliss, because I had so much time to spend as I wanted, hours without end in libraries. Enjoy it as long as it lasts!! 7y

sneirr I loved that book!! I never finished the series because I was borrowing from a friend and she didn't have the last one, so I want to buy them myself and do a reread sometime. 7y
