I went and saw Robin Hobb when she released this book, and got her to sign most of my collection as well.

I have to agree that this was an entertaining story, but nowhere near the depth of her Farseer trilogy.

If you liked Robin Hobb, Lynn Flewelling is another author that write in a similar style of great characterization.

Robin Hobb has quickly become my favorite author. The Liveship series, The Fools, to her latest books the Rain Wilds… You won’t be sorry you picked up any of them. Her stories move you through the characters loves, hardships and hard fought triumphs. The stories captivate on a level unlike any i’ve experienced before. I adore the way she blends stories of love and longing with battles and wit. Robin Hobb is simply marvelous at her craft.

The book was originally written as a single volume, but the publisher decided it was too long and split it in two parts – that’s why there’s no real cliffhanger. The second volume (it’s already out in Europe and Australia) picks up right where the first one left off too.

If you’ve never made friends with Fitz Chivalry in The Assassin series, he’s a keeper. I also liked the Rain Wilds trilogy. The Second Son trilogy was so disappointing — after I bought them all based on Hobb’s other books — I didn’t even open the third book. I’m afraid to say it, but she appears to have burned out. Sorry to hear that Dragon Keeper had plotting problems. Burnout happens, even to wonderful authors like George R. R. Martin.

I've heard the same complaints about the plot on other blogs, but I'm really glad to hear that the character development is good! That's my favourite thing about Hobb anyways. .-= Memory´s last blog ..TBR Additions =-.

I love fantasy but I haven't read any of the Hobb books. I'll take your advice and start with the Six Duchies books. .-= Beth F´s last blog ..Thursday Tea: An Irish Country Christmas by Patrick Taylor =-.

I've only read one Robin Hobb book that, that was based on Sleeping Beauty or Cinderella or one of those stories. I had the same problem with it! Not much happened. .-= heidenkind´s last blog ..Searching for Donatello =-.

This is not my usual genre, but my daughter is in love with dragons and I'm sure she would find this book to be a wonderful read for her. I have been looking around for something like this, because she seems to have read all the dragon books out there, with her favorite being the Pern series so far. Thanks so much for bringing this book to my attention, I will have to look into them! .-= zibilee´s last blog ..Keeping the Feast: One Couple's Story of Love, Food and Healing in Italy by Paula Butturini - 272 pgs =-.
