About this ebook

New York Times bestselling author Robin Hobb returns to world of the Rain Wilds—called “one of the most gripping settings in modern fantasy” (Booklist)—in City of Dragons. Continuing the enthralling journey she began in her acclaimed Dragon Keeper and Dragon Haven, Hobb rejoins a small group of weak, half-formed and unwanted dragons and their displaced human companions as they search for a legendary sanctuary. Now, as the misfit band approaches its final destination, dragons and keepers alike face a challenge so insurmountable that it threatens to render their long, difficult odyssey utterly meaningless. Touching, powerful, and dazzlingly inventive, Hobb’s City of Dragons is not to be missed—further proof that this author belongs alongside Raymond E. Feist, Terry Brooks, and Lois McMaster Bujold in the pantheon of fantasy fiction’s true greats.

Kind of an intermediary book - nothing earthshaking here, but possibly building toward something. What really interests me about all Hobb's work is the way she makes completely fantastical and alien worlds and societies seem not just plausible but akin to a real-world historical work.

The book was even more all over the place than its prequels. The point of view of characters not paid attention to since the first book was confusing made me feel disconnected to other characters I had come to enjoy
