It was a real trial to put this book back on the swap because I had enjoyed it so much and I am a bit of a book hoarder when it comes to those novels that strike me. I have never met a book of Robin Hobbs that I did not like, undoubtedly some more than others but this tale of the dragons and the Rain Wild is just amazing. I have read many books with dragons in them and many books about dragons and many books about people and their interactions with dragons but this was truly a Wonder to read. yes I have some of Robin Hobb books that I'm not that crazy about but this one definitely not in that category. I can't wait to read the next and see what she has in store.
