City of Dragons

Third entry in the Rain Wilds series, the saga continues...although for the first half of the book, it sort of slogged along. I'm not sure I've ever said that about a Robin Hobb book before, but it just seemed really slow moving, somewhat of a re-hash of the problems from the last book--the keepers having trouble feeding their dragons, only one dragon able to fly and hunt, running out of clothes, food and supplies, etc. You'll notice it took me two weeks to read the book......I read the first half in about 12 days and the last half in the last two days. It was only during the last quarter of the book that things really picked up and I had a harder time setting it down.

Much better than the previous one! We got more povs which is way more exciting than just follow the keepers. The only one I didn't like very much was Hest. Not because he is a dick but because he felt pretty one dimensional. There's apparently no reason why he could be so arrogant or mean, he is just a douche - so far. Maybe we get to know more in the next book. The most interesting person was the Duke of chalced who seems pretty interesting and a real threat to our "heroes". Till now it also seems that there's no real overwhelming plot. We just follow the keepers on their journey to kelsingra and shares their discoveries. But what the main goal will be, I don't know. Build a settlement? Get pregnant? Tame the dragons? I'll see soon enough... I hope.MoreLess

Overall I found the books regarding the Rain Wild Dragons to be a bit of a drag at times, however still for the majority incredibly interesting and not disappointing in the slightest in comparison to what ive come to expect of Hobb. I must say that if anyone has interest in reading the Fitz and the Fool books, I would highly recommend the Liveship series (before these) and the Rain Wild series. Hobb spins not just tale by tale but creates a whole universe, and her latest work, The Fool's Assassin, ties up ALL ends left open, I had goosebumps throughout most of the Fool's Assassin, and to be able to read the books with complete satisfaction I highly recommend finishing the books in sequence.

I am an avid reader of dragon stories and I'll tell you, I am having a hard time with this one. Too much flipping from one story to the other. Sure, it will come together in the end, but too much to stay with makes it boring and uninteresting for me. Sorry
