Robin Hobb's Dragon Keeper
This is the start of Hobb's Rain Wilds Chronicles, a series of four books that follow on the Liveship Traders trilogy (though obviously the other trilogies are also relevant), with mainly a new cast of characters. I mean, obviously some of the earlier prominent characters make appearances, but I definitely wanted more Malta and missed Amber (AMBER) a lot. Anyway, some of the characters here are a young Rain Wilder girl, recruited to help escort the unhealthy dragons away; a Bingtown woman who wants to study the dragons (and also prove something to her cruel, secretly gay husband); her husband's secretary (and secret boyfriend); a barge captain; one of said dragons, etc. This is all pretty entertaining and interesting, but it ends super abruptly. Like I know this is a series, but normally Hobb kind of wraps things up in some way or another. I thought I was missing chapters! Well, it doesn’t really matter, as I’m obviously about to immediately start the next one. B+.
