About this ebook

For a limited time, experience the beginning of the Rain Wilds Chronicles series at a special price, including bonus excerpts from other books in the series.In Dragon Keeper, too much time has passed since the powerful dragon Tintaglia helped the people of the Trader cities stave off an invasion of their enemies. The Traders have forgotten their promises, weary of the labor and expense of tending earthbound dragons who were hatched weak and deformed by a river turned toxic. If neglected, the creatures will rampage—or die—so it is decreed that they must move farther upriver toward Kelsingra, the mythical homeland whose location is locked deep within the dragons' uncertain ancestral memories.

Thymara, an unschooled forest girl, and Alise, wife of an unloving and wealthy Trader, are among the disparate group entrusted with escorting the dragons to their new home. And on an extraordinary odyssey with no promise of return, many lessons will be learned—as dragons and tenders alike experience hardships, betrayals . . . and joys beyond their wildest imaginings.

While not as exciting as the previous Robin hobb books I have read it still carries a story and continues to bring you to new places in the world which was discovered by reading the stories about the Farseerers and The Fool sagas. All the homosexual undertones with Sedric and Hest could have easily been left out without harming the story. I think that it is / was inappropriate for the younger readers.

Decent read... Just leave the (i dont know how else to put this) faggotry out of it. It adds nothing to the book and kills the series.

I forced myself to keep reading to see if it gets better but it's such a boring book. I was hoping for more but it's not interesting at all
