City of Dragons (Rain Wild Chronicles #3 of 4) [B1902]

2012 HCDJ, 334-pages, in nice clean condition. Bestselling author Robin Hobb returns to world of the Rain Wilds-called "one of the most gripping settings in modern fantasy" (Booklist)-in her epic fantasy adventure, City of Dragons. Continuing the enthralling journey she began in her acclaimed Dragon Keeper and Dragon Haven, Hobb rejoins a small group of weak, half-formed and unwanted dragons and their displaced human companions as they search for Kelsingra, a legendary sanctuary woven into the lore of the Elderlings. Now, as the misfit band approaches its final destination, dragons and keepers alike face a challenge so insurmountable that it threatens to render their long, difficult odyssey utterly meaningless. Touching, powerful, and dazzlingly inventive, Hobb's City of Dragons is not to be missed-further proof that this author belongs alongside Raymond E. Feist, Terry Brooks, and Lois McMaster Bujold in the pantheon of fantasy fiction's true greats.

From recent Amazon/GoodReads reviews: "Easily the best of the Dragon Keeper Tetraology. It's short (different!) and felt so action packed. I love all our characters and the journeys they're on. It's such great development from the previous books and set up for the last that I felt like I couldn't put it down."; "I read all four books at once, so they all kind of blend in together, but I think this might have been my favorite of them all. The least predictable with the most excitement."; " While I didn't like the second book in the Rain Wild Chronicles, I've loved books 1 and 3. I had a lot of fun in this book, I'm growing fonder of some of the new characters in this series and I'm absolutely loving seeing some of our Liveship characters not only make an appearance, but become more embedded into this series' plot. This third installment had great pacing and I feel the stakes were raises and set us up really nicely for the final installment, which I am really excited to get to now!"
