Publisher Description
“A full master of the epic fantasy.”
—Tulsa World
One of the world’s most acclaimed fantasists, New York Times bestselling author Robin Hobb returns to the world of her popular “Tawny Man” trilogy with Dragon Haven—the second book, following Dragon Keeper (“Imaginative, literate, and compassionate from first page to last” —Booklist) in an epic adventure about the resurgence of dragons in a world that both needs and fears them. Hobb, whose Soldier Son Trilogy (Shaman’s Crossing, Forest Mage, Renegade’s Magic) has won raves from critics, fans, and peers alike, returns to the Rain Wilds with Dragon Haven, and readers of Raymond Feist, Terry Brooks, and Lois McMaster Bujold will eagerly follow.

"c2010 My favourite kind of story - dragons!!!! I find it interesting that the dragon myths have grown over the last twenty to thirty years so now certain aspects of dragon culture have become almost factual - how weird is that. I had no problem picking up the story line and Sintara, Thymara, Alise, Sedric all burst into life again. Great read but I felt this time that there were a few incidents that should have taken up paragraphs as opposed to pages but I understand that this is sometimes necessary to lay the groundwork for the next instalment. At least they reached Kelsingra. (Oh, and I loved the inclusion and expansion of Tarman)"

Dragon Haven Listener Reviews
-
" There are some really great moments and characters in this trilogy, and even paragraphs that I would quote, in relevant situations (that have nothing to do with fantasy dragon worlds). Love Ms. Hobb. I think what she expresses in her stories, the themes, are so astute and realized and her characters are complex and yet so compelling. Check her out, she is great. "

" Sequel to Dragon Keeper. Think of the two volumes as a single book. "
— Jenna, 2/17/2014 -
" Perfect? No, but still satisfying. I look forward to the next book in the series. "

" I see what everyone is saying about how sometimes as you're reading you're all like, REDUNDANTSAUCE or, SPIT IT OUT YOUR DAMN MOUTH, HOBB. I get it now, I do. But even so, rewarding read, totally worth the slow buildup. Here I come Book 3, then on to the galley! Sheesh. Wish me luck. "
— Katie, 2/12/2014 -
" I found this an absolutely wonderful and tantalizing second installment of The Rain Wild Chronicles. The beautiful description of the settings once again transported me to The Rain Wild. I wished the book was longer because I didn't want the book to end, but I was happy with how the book did end and the growth of the characters. I cannot wait for the next installment! "
— Tressa, 1/29/2014 -
" A nice addition to the Live Trader books. This book helps to move the story along. Helps to fill in hints fromm the earlier books. I enjoyed this book as much as the earlier books. Not sure were they came up with the page count my copy has 508. "
— James, 1/18/2014 -
" I liked this book better than the first one. I still wish I didn't have to read about gay relationships but I like the other story lines and characters in the book. I'm looking forward to reading the next one. "
— Kyla, 1/1/2014 -

" Too little plot, too much drama! Still an enjoyable read, but I definitely found myself getting frustrated at the characters as they keep making the same mistakes and obsessing over the same problems as in book one. "

" The Rain Wilds Chronicles is amazing! You have to read the 'Liveships' books to understand but the writing is wonderful and creates that moving picture in your mind that just isn't there in many books. Great Job Robin Hobb and cannot wait for the conclusion to this trilogy. "
