And the series are completely uncreative in their oppression.
But it should also be entertaining, and all the oppression just makes me depressed. Yes, fantasy should explore social issues. But Hobb could show the struggles of oppressed women, and even show a few of their perspectives, without repeating the same story over and over again. And I am a strong feminist, so normally I wouldn't make that kind of argument.

In this, and the Liveship series, no women seem to be free from oppression of some sort, which makes for a boring story and stunts their characters. I cannot believe an editor was so lax as to approve this! I can ignore bad writing for the sake of a good story, but repetitive, uncreative writing just jars me from the story, and bores and frustrates me.Īs for the female characters- why are they so downtrodden? I get that Hobb might want to talk about the struggles of women in a less-developed, slightly oppressive environment, but she has gone overboard. The speech between one character and the next is almost identical sometimes, and conversation tends to repeat another character's thoughts from a mere one page earlier. 211 pages in, and I cannot recall any ordinary conversations- they are all super long, almost formal, and seem to talk about the same town issues/ over and over again, with no distinct differences in the perspective from different characters. I think her Liveship series was somewhere in between the others and this book in quality. And her wide variety of characters, and in particular her representations of women, were excellent. I adored the Farseer & Tawny Man series from Hobb, and her writing style was perfectly fine in those. This is a good story, but the writing does it absolutely no justice. I'm only about a quarter through this book, but it is frustrating me so much that I have to vent my feelings. So, though I stand by my low rating and negative review of Dragon Keeper, I would recommend you push through it and read the rest of the series, because I adored the second book.***** The improvement from the first book is almost miraculous. But it was a good start, and I’m interested to see where it goes.*****I just wanted to say that I have finished the second book, Dragon Haven. Just something to be continued in the next book. The ending was very abrupt and caught me off guard. There are a few different point-of-view characters, but their stories converged soon enough, which I appreciated. Some characters are more good and some more bad, but they are all three dimensional with their own motivations that make sense. But you definitely at least need to read that trilogy first, if not all the other previous Robin Hobb books. It sorta continues the story from the earlier Liveship Traders trilogy, but with new characters. Review 3: Dragon Keeper – The Rain Wild Chronicles Book 1 by Matt & Carla Good start and continuation from Liveship Traders I do wish the two stories could be separated so that one could choose which story to read. “B” will confound where to shelve the books. “A” could appeal to younger readers who love dragons. Storyline B is about men hiding their true love identity. Storyline A is a relatively slow-moving and introspective tale of dragons and their keepers – all finding their identity. Review 2: Dragon Keeper – The Rain Wild Chronicles Book 1 by Bruce Great Dragon Tale boring “Harlequin” romanceīooks one and two weave two storylines. I feel kind of ripped off as now I have to buy two new books if I want to listen to them again 🙁 After some online research seems audible has released this again with a new narrator.
I knew that I have heard this book before, but the release date was 2020, and I listened years ago. I was so confused as I was listening to this. Seems you maybe able to start here if you’d like, but I think I like it more because of the other Robin Hobb series of books that I have already listened to. This is not the first book I would read if I were just starting to listen to Robin Hobb’s books. Review 1: Dragon Keeper – The Rain Wild Chronicles Book 1 by Rachel MomWifeRT I knew I have already listened to this! Here are the top 3 reviews and comments that readers love about this fascinating book. The Traders promised to help her snakes migrate to the Rain Wild River after a long exile at sea. Traders could not stop the invasion without the powerful dragon, Tintaglia. The Trader’s Cities bravely fought their enemies, the Chalcedeans. Dragon Keeper is the first book in The Rain Wild Chronicles series by author Robin Hobb.
