Young ones who have been too heavily changed by the Rain Wilds, their bodies marked with scales, or claws or other deviations in the direction of the lost Elderlings, but without their grace or beauty. Maybe they could send some unwanted teenagers away with them as their keepers. If she’s not living up to her end of the deal, why should they? Maybe they could send the dragons away, for their own good, to somewhere more suitable. They have kept their bargain with the dragon Tintaglia to watch over the hatchlings in return for her help in the war against Chalced, but Tintaglia has disappeared. The pragmatic Rain Wild Traders want them gone. They entered their cocoons too weak and too late in the season, and lacking mature dragons to share memories and watch over them they are stunted, pitiful creatures, unable to feed or groom themselves. But these are not the dragons of the past. The disrupted lifecycle of dragons is being restored, with the first dragon eggs for centuries hatching on the banks of the Rain Wild River. The Dragon Keeper picks up where The Liveship Traders left off.

#DRAGON KEEPER THE RAIN WILD CHRONICLES SERIES#
** Spoilers for The Liveship Traders and Tawny Man series, and for the general plot direction of the series Nothing really surprised or shocked me, and the lost dragon city lacked the sense of awe and wonder.īut not living up to Robin Hobb’s usual standards doesn’t mean these books weren’t worth the read, at least to fill a gap in a very compelling larger story. The characters lack the depth and humanity I expect from Hobb, and were too neatly paired off by the series end. Maybe I’d heard it was a weaker link in the chain? If so, I heard right. But for some reason I’d passed over the Rain Wild Chronicles until now. I’ve read the other books in Robin Hobbs interlinked series many times, and the Farseer Trilogy is one of my favourite alltime reads.
