Synopsis

New York Times bestselling author Robin Hobb returns to world of the Rain Wilds—called “one of the most gripping settings in modern fantasy” (Booklist)—in 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 a legendary sanctuary. 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.

See, Hobb? A bigger book doesn’t always mean better. City of Dragons was an enjoyable read. After the massive pain of disappointment I received for reading through Dragon Haven, my expectation towards this one was honestly smaller than a bacteria. It is quite a surprise that this turns out to be quit......more

Goodreads review by Anna [Bran. San. Stan] on November 10, 2023

After a slow start, this ended up being another immersive read. While this won’t be among my favorites among the Realm of the Elderlings series, I still enjoyed it a whole lot. Most notably, the scope of the characters is expanded after the first two installments, which showed us the same events thro......more

Goodreads review by Sean Barrs on August 13, 2017

The dragons in this series aren’t the usual roaring oafs that are seen across the rest of fantasy, well most of fantasy. They actually have personality and opinions. They don’t just respond on command and set an enemy army on fire. They are very much their own creatures with their own superiority co......more

Goodreads review by Becca on March 13, 2022

This definitely felt like a bridge book in the series, with the main focus being putting the characters in position for the final book.
