This was my first venture into Robin Hobb's various series. Secrets, even those carefully guarded, will be revealed, for better or for worse. Will the dragons' reliance on their missing memory lead them to a haven, or to a wasteland? What does the future hold for the profiteers seeking to harvest the dragons for their scales and claws and blood? The adventurers face adversity of all kinds, and with each obstacle, come out stronger than they were. You can keep up to date with her blog here. A self-proclaimed introvert, she seems to prefer her non-writing time to be spent with her large furry and feathered family on her farm. She is even tentatively available for interviews and podcasts if she has the time. When not writing, Hobb enjoys coffee breaks in the forest, and helping with school projects. The precursor to the Rain Wild Chronicles is Liveship Traders, published between 19. Most recently, in 2017, she has released Assassin's Fate (picking up her tales of the characters in Assassin's Apprentice with a new trilogy). The author has a prolific writing background, beginning with her first published novel, Assassin's Apprentice, in 1995.

Robin Hobb is a person Rebekah would desperately love to meet one day, if only to have the selfish and childish chance to swing on the oh-so-welcoming tire swing as pictured in 'The View from my kitchen window' on the author's FAQ page.
