Required Reading

Life is complicated enough without getting into hotwater with federal agencies so: TAKE NOTE Many things I review I received at no charge in exchange for an honest review. Consider this as informing you that ALL things I review may have been gotten at no charge. Realistically about 40% but in order to keep things above board just assume that I got the stuff free. I do not collect information on my readers. If cookies or other tracking stuff is used on my blogs it is due to BLOGGER not ME. Apparently the European Union's new rules state I need to inform you if cookies are being use. If they are it isn't byu me, consider yourself INFORMED.
Words like, “sponsored,” “promotion,” “paid ad” or even just “ad” are clear ways to disclose that you’re being paid to share information and links so BE AWARE that some of what I write can be described as an AD by the government. BTW I will NEVER say a product is great, super or even acceptable if it isn't, whether I got it free or NOT!

The Dragon Keeper by Robin Hobb



This is a Rain Wild book.  The story picks up with the "hatching" of a new clutch of dragons.   The dragons and the "mutants" of the Rain Wild river face daunting challenges.

There are several main protagonists in this book.  Alise Finbok who is struggling for an identity in a male dominated society.  Thymara, abandoned and recovered at birth, who is also trying to develop a firmer identity.  Leftrin has a secret that colors his captaining of a river barge.   Sedric is one more who has a secret and is also trying to figure out who he might be.

This is a character study set in a jungle setting with dragon personalities impacting the behavior of all of the characters.   The tenuous alliance between dragons and Rain Wilders is thoroughly tested in what may be a fruitless journey.

I recommend.

 This book may have been received free of charge from a publisher or a publicist. That will NEVER have a bearing on my recommendations.
