While I didn't much care for the book, I did find a lot of interesting words in Shadow's Son....

...

Shadow's Son is akin to a blockbuster summer movie that almost works. It's good entertainment, but won't leave you hungry for more....

...

An excellent read with intriguing characters....

A list of words and their definitions that I found interesting while reading Robin Hobb's Dragon Keeper....

...

A likeable, diverse cast heads this first novel in the Rain Wilds Chronicles....

The pacing is all wrong on this one, with characters that are flung at the reader and just as quickly tossed away....
