Summary

The dragons' survival hangs in the balance in the thrilling final volume in the acclaimed River Wilds Chronicles fantasy series

The dragons and their dedicated band of keepers have at last found the lost city of Kelsingra。 The magical creatures have learned to use their wings and are growing into their regal inheritance。 Their humans， too， are changing。 As the mystical bonds with their dragons deepen， Thymara， Tats， Rapskal， and even Sedric， the unlikeliest of keepers， have begun transforming into beautiful Elderlings raked with exquisite features that complement and reflect the dragons they serve。

But while the humans have scoured the empty streets and enormous buildings of Kelsingra， they cannot find the mythical silver wells the dragons need to stay health and survive。 With enemies encroaching， the keepers must risk "memory walking"- immersing themselves in the dangerously addictive memories of long-deceased Elderlings - to uncover clues necessary to their survival。

And time is of the essence， for the legendary Tintaglia， long feared dead， has returned， wounded in a battle with humans hunting dragon blood and scales。 She is weakening and only the hidden silver can revive her。 If Tintaglia dies， so， too， will the ancient memories she carries - a devastating loss that will ensure the dragons' extinction。

Hey， that got better！ I was less impressed with the Rain Wild Chronicles than the Farseer or Liveship books， and I think it's because I found the young keepers pretty annoying。 Also， these books were pretty narrowly focused and I miss everything going on in the wider story world。 But this one really brought all the chickens home to roost， which I always enjoy。 We got some Liveship characters with more POV chapters and spending most of our time in Kelsingra gave us more dragon and elderling lore。 Hey， that got better！ I was less impressed with the Rain Wild Chronicles than the Farseer or Liveship books， and I think it's because I found the young keepers pretty annoying。 Also， these books were pretty narrowly focused and I miss everything going on in the wider story world。 But this one really brought all the chickens home to roost， which I always enjoy。 We got some Liveship characters with more POV chapters and spending most of our time in Kelsingra gave us more dragon and elderling lore。 And I loved seeing the dragons getting stronger and more independent。 I loved， uh， resolving the storyline with Hest and getting Tintaglia back into relevance。 But， the whole books ends resolving a problem that I didn't think was a problem I hated that love triangle so much and I just DO NOT CARE about the sex lives of teenagers。 You can't make me care， Robin。 You cannot。 So， that made the big finale feel underwhelming。 But！ I am so exciting to wrap up this story and incorporate what we've learned into the final trilogy。 I can't wait to see what these last three books are gonna bring us。 。。。more

An excellent end to the series and arguably the strongest。 Hobb has a knack for developing unexpected characters that surprise， and particularly for turning the reader around on weak or insufferable ones。 I enjoyed the series quite a bit， especially surprising because I nearly gave up on the first novel。

I really enjoyed this last book of the series， it was a good conclusion！ I will say that I probably enjoyed this series more as an expansion and somewhat explanation of the world than as a series in and of itself。 It's been less than a year since I read the Farseer trilogy but I'm incredibly forgetful so reading this really makes me want to re-read it to get the full implications of everything that happens。 While I liked many of the characters none of them stuck with me in the same way as the ch I really enjoyed this last book of the series， it was a good conclusion！ I will say that I probably enjoyed this series more as an expansion and somewhat explanation of the world than as a series in and of itself。 It's been less than a year since I read the Farseer trilogy but I'm incredibly forgetful so reading this really makes me want to re-read it to get the full implications of everything that happens。 While I liked many of the characters none of them stuck with me in the same way as the characters of the Fitz-centred books and the liveship books did and the series could probably have been edited down to two or at most three books。 But， as I said， I quite enjoyed it anyway！ Now I'm looking forward to returning to the six duchies。 。。。more

The final book in the Rain Wild Chronicles。I was relieved that the book opened with Alise getting some spirit back。 My favourite character early on in the series， she faded a bit in the third book， but improved in this one。 It was a little strange to hear the names of dragons that I was pretty sure I hadn't heard mentioned at all in the first three books - Tinder， for example！The love triangle between Thymara/Tats/Rapskal continued in this book， and I have to admit that I was pretty much over it The final book in the Rain Wild Chronicles。I was relieved that the book opened with Alise getting some spirit back。 My favourite character early on in the series， she faded a bit in the third book， but improved in this one。 It was a little strange to hear the names of dragons that I was pretty sure I hadn't heard mentioned at all in the first three books - Tinder， for example！The love triangle between Thymara/Tats/Rapskal continued in this book， and I have to admit that I was pretty much over it。 I also never really understood Thymara's interest in Rapskal AT ALL。 He just had NOTHING on Tats。 I started to get annoyed whenever Rapskal appeared in the book - he grated on me and I grew to loathe him。 Thymara finally hooked up with Tats in the final pages， but。。。。There's this thing that happens in Hobb novels where she gives you pages and pages of mundane activities in minute detail and then completely skims or offers a second-hand summary of more interesting storylines！ I would have liked to have experienced Thymara and Tats' hook-up。 I would have liked to have experienced more of what happened in the aftermath of the dragon attack on Chalced rather than read a summary of it told via expositional dialogue between Althea/Brashen/Leftrin/Alise。 And yet we get page after page about the bloody silver well。I loved every minute where the story was told from Malta's P。O。V。 Tintaglia's failing health and the attack on her by the Chalcedeans （the Slytherins of Hobb novels！） really struck me a gut punch！ I felt so bad for her， despite never really taking to her before。 That section was distressing to read。Selden and Chassim were great together。 I could happily read more about them。 It was stomach-churning to read about the Duke drinking Selden's blood。The scene where Tintaglia finally made it back to Kelsingra and crashed to the ground made me choke back a sob！I’m not quite sure that I bought into Hest being so entirely delusional and plain stupid as he was in his last encounters with Sedric and Kalo。 He was always so cunning， but was suddenly an idiot with no sense whatsoever。 I was also a bit weirded out that there were 5 gay men in the book， but not a lesbian anywhere。I was convinced that some of the keepers or dragons would die in battle and was trying to guess who would not come back - but then they all did！ An enjoyable series despite my nit-picking comments！ I look forward to reading The Fitz and The Fool Trilogy （big time！！！） 。。。more

Is this Robin Hobb's best work？ No。 At the same time I don't think the Rain Wilds tetralogy deserves the criticism it has received。 I went into this tetralogy expecting it to be significantly worse then the previous three trilogies based off of reviews I had read。 Besides some pacing issues and （in my opinion） a large time skip issue in this final volume， I think this work is comparable in quality to Hobb's previous work。 Is this tetralogy a masterpiece？ I don't think so， but I did thoroughly en Is this Robin Hobb's best work？ No。 At the same time I don't think the Rain Wilds tetralogy deserves the criticism it has received。 I went into this tetralogy expecting it to be significantly worse then the previous three trilogies based off of reviews I had read。 Besides some pacing issues and （in my opinion） a large time skip issue in this final volume， I think this work is comparable in quality to Hobb's previous work。 Is this tetralogy a masterpiece？ I don't think so， but I did thoroughly enjoy revisiting the Rain Wilds and many of the Liveship characters。 Perhaps most importantly， I can't wait to see how the Six Duchies cast will react to the events of the Rain Wilds tetralogy。 。。。more

Dopo i primi 2 libri solidi e introspettivi， tra i fantasy più belli ed evocativi mai letti， e un terzo libro un po' più debole ma comunque bello， non mi sarei mai aspettata un quarto e ultimo libro come Il Sangue dei Draghi。 Che cosa è successo， Robin？Riassumo il quarto libro: Thymara è indecisa tra i due ragazzi della sua vita， il malvagio Hest viene punito come è giusto che sia e Sendar viene torturato dal duca di Calched （villain monodimensionale）。 Oh， e i draghi vogliono vendicarsi contro Dopo i primi 2 libri solidi e introspettivi， tra i fantasy più belli ed evocativi mai letti， e un terzo libro un po' più debole ma comunque bello， non mi sarei mai aspettata un quarto e ultimo libro come Il Sangue dei Draghi。 Che cosa è successo， Robin？Riassumo il quarto libro: Thymara è indecisa tra i due ragazzi della sua vita， il malvagio Hest viene punito come è giusto che sia e Sendar viene torturato dal duca di Calched （villain monodimensionale）。 Oh， e i draghi vogliono vendicarsi contro i calchediani。 Le Cronache non hanno mai avuto al centro l'azione né io l'ho mai pretesa。 Il punto di forza è sempre stata l'introspezione， la caratterizzazione dei personaggi principali， l'analisi dei loro pensieri e delle loro paure。。。 Nei primi due libri ho seguito il lento scivolare della nave vivente con a bordo i Custodi e ogni cosa raccontata da Robin Hobb era affascinante。 Il percorso di redenzione di Sedric mi aveva emozionato， così come la scelta di Alise di abbandonare il ruolo di moglie sottomessa e di abbracciare la propria libertà （di sentimenti e di sessualità）。 Per non parlare poi di Thymara， il mio personaggio preferito。 Bene， tutto questo nel quarto libro è scomparso。 Alise？ Non si vede quasi mai！ Avremmo potuto approfondire la sua crisi （ora non è più di nessuna utilità al gruppo， perciò si ritrova nuovamente senza uno scopo come lo era durante il matrimonio） invece la vediamo sì e no due volte， quasi come non fosse più una delle protagoniste。 Thymara si preoccupa solo di dover scegliere tra due ragazzi （ma c'è ancora qualcuno a cui piacciono i triangoli amorosi nei romanzi fantasy？） e anche la sua caratterizzazione scompare， sacrificata dalle gelosie e questioni amorose da adolescente。 I due personaggi nuovi （ma vecchi per chi ha letto Borgomago） introdotti nel terzo libro secondo me non sono serviti a nulla ai fini della trama， se non forse a chiudere un loro arco narrativo iniziato nella precedente trilogia。 Entrambi comunque mi sono sembrati abbastanza piatti La storia ristagna per centinaia di pagine， ma non nel modo interessante dei primi due libri。 Semplicemente mi sono annoiata。 Tanto。 Non riuscivo a leggere più di due capitoli al giorno， alternavo la lettura di altri libri perché altrimenti avrei dormito tutto il tempo！ L'evoluzione degli ultimi capitoli è stata un'accelerazione innaturale， come se l'autrice avesse deciso di punto in bianco che doveva finire il libro ma non sapesse come fare。 Non mi ha convinto per nulla。I villain。 Hest e il duca di Calched sono entrambi due macchiette。 Avrei preferito una tetralogia senza antagonisti， perché sembra quasi siano stati inseriti a forza per movimentare la storia。 （view spoiler）[ Non perdono l'autrice di non avermi fatto vedere la caduta di Calched e la vendetta dei draghi！ Nè che nessuno abbia visto quell'idiota di Hest mangiato da un drago。。。 （hide spoiler）]Il mio parere sulla saga è positivo， perché ho amato tantissimo i primi due libri e sono stata felice di conoscere questi draghi， Alise e Thymara。 Ma la saga meritava una conclusione migliore。 。。。more
