As always, Robin Hobb makes me care about the characters and get invested in their journey. I would say my main complain is how slow the books moves. I assumed they would get further on the their journey in Bk1, and they did not.
This has got to be the weakest Hobb book I've read to date.
It was fine. Nothing much happened that I would expect from a Hobb book but I'm prepared to sit and wait for the emotional damage I know she'll give me.
I am enjoying that characters especially the dragons. She manages to make something so old come across so new.
But oh Hobb can write terrible men! First there was regal then Kyle who I thought could get no worse and now HEST. Please tell me he gets what's coming to him cause my god.
This book felt more of an introduction to the characters and the dragons. It teases the implications on what could happen because of the deformed dragons and hints at certain character arcs. A slow book but one I enjoyed. O feel book 2 and onwards is where a lot of the things I love about Hobb will come forth.

I'm so happy to be back in the Rainwilds! That being said, this was my least favorite Hobb book so far. It just gets 4 stars instead of 5. Still fantastic, but I just didn't love it as much as the others. The ending made me want to dive right into the next one! As always, Robin Hobb is the queen of creating characters that I love to hate.
