Hobb's writing is always full of 'new to me' words or ones I'm a little iffy on, so, as always, I like to circle back once I'm done reading and highlight their definitions....

Slow and methodical, but full of rich characters set amidst a richer world. Dragon Haven is very typical Robin Hobb, and that's a good thing....

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....
