The first book in Robin Hobb’s New York Times bestselling Rain Wilds series, set in an immersive world full of dragons, magical ships, and unforgettable characters—reissued with beautiful cover art by renowned illustrator Jackie Morris.

New York Times Bestseller | Narrated by Anne Flosnik

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 earth-bound dragons who were hatched weak and deformed. 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.

It ends unexpectedly, and you leave mid-sentence. Was quite disappointed. I don't know if this a usable or the author. It was almost like the author was told the book is two long and randomly cut it in 3 to make 3 books.

Ending????

This story is surprisingly like an historical account written from the journals of an expedition, and very earthy and reptilian. I was a bit disappointed that the none of the dragons managed to fly. This is certainly not like other dragon books I have read - there is none of the flaming flamboyance and breathtaking flight, but pity, and there was only a vestige of past freedom and magnificence.

In a social context of racialism, we are first introduced to an urban culture and a tree-dwelling community - and within the latter, a kind of “untouchable” throwbacks to a past race who were part dragon. The protagonist appears as a Victorian lady, an amateur scientist, stepping outside the bounds of decorum to follow her vocation.

I found the narrator’s style a bit irritating in its emphatically precise diction - but I will definitely listen to the next book in this series, to follow the dragons and their keepers in their pilgrimage to their ancestral home!

“Gross”and earthy but entirely engrossing!

I love the nuance in this novel. The characters are incredibly well developed. Nobody is all good or all evil. Just real, imperfect people faced with choices, indecision, their own mistakes, attractions. Book ended rather abruptly, definitely need to keep going. Despite the lack of action this novel had me hooked.

Not your typical tale of good and evil

Ok, so Robin Hobb is amazing. That’s the only reason I powered through.

Anne Flosnik sounds like a 103 year old chain smoker after throat surgery.

Story was amazing as always, anne flosnick however…

Good story but I was not thrilled with the performance. Every sentence seemed to end in a question.

Good story
