Blood of Dragons by Robin Hobb

Rating: WARTY!

Now if this was authored by Robin Hood, that would be something wouldn't it? The author seems obsessed with writing about disabled dragons which means all these stories are essentially the same. Yawn. Apparently George RR Martin said of this that it's "fantasy as it ought to be written." Has George has been getting away with fantasy as it oughtn't to be written? Just askin'! "A group of dragons and their keepers journey to find the lost city of Kelsingra - and the mythical well that the creatures need to survive" - and we're just learning this now? So how have they survived thus far? I guess George likes dumb stories.

"Dragons have returned to Rain Wilds - but they can no longer fly." Oh my fucking god! What a tragedy! How did they get back to Rain Wilds? Uber? Electric scooter? Light rail? Dragon their asses overland? Yawn.
