Robin Hobb
For years, the Trader cities valiantly battled their enemies, the Chalcedeans. But they could not have staved off invasion without the powerful dragon, Tintaglia. In return, the Traders promised to help her serpents migrate up the Rain Wild River after a long exile at sea - to find a safe haven and, Tintaglia hopes, to restore her species.
But too much time has passed, and the newly hatched dragons are damaged and weak, and many die. The few who survive cannot use their wings; earthbound, they are powerless to hunt and vulnerable to human predators willing to kill them for the fabled healing powers of dragon flesh.
But Tintaglia has vanished, and the Traders are weary of the labor and expense of tending useless dragons. The Trader leadership fears that if it stops providing for the young dragons, the hungry and neglected creatures will rampage - or die along the river’s acidic muddy banks.
To avert catastrophe, the dragons decree a move even farther up the treacherous river to Kelsingra, their ancient, mythical homeland whose mysterious location is locked deep within the dragons’ uncertain ancestral memories. To ensure their safe passage, the Traders recruit a disparate group of young people to care for the damaged creatures and escort them to their new home. Among them is Thymara, an unschooled forest girl of 16, and Alise, a wealthy Trader’s wife trapped in a loveless marriage, who attaches herself to the expedition as a dragon expert. The two women share a deep kinship with the dragons: Thymara can instinctively communicate with them, and Alise, captivated by their beauty and majesty, has devoted her life to studying them.
Embarking on an arduous journey that holds no promise of return, the band of humans and dragons must make its way along the toxic and inhospitable Rain Wild River - an extraordinary odyssey that will teach them lessons about themselves and one another as they experience hardships, betrayals, and joys beyond their wildest dreams.

The story itself was essentially a preface. It had the same amount of movement and plot as the opening setup chapters of a novel before the story really starts . Hobb could have accomplished the same characterizations and events from this one book in a few chapters and jumped into the journey for the dragon city after that. There was a lot of lines repeated—one POV would say the exact thing another had a few pages earlier. We see characters showing the same traits over and over and over without any growth. It makes the story long winded and frustrating.
I genuinely thought I was at most halfway through, at most, and the story ended. I can’t even call it a story, it was truly just a setup for the next books.
The narration is only endurable at 1.5X speed and above. It was weirdly inconsistent in diction/tone. Sometimes it would hit perfectly, then other times she’d use a completely different voice for a character from one page to the next. Or I’d not be sure if it was one character talking or another or the narrator talking. The emotion she put into characters voices seemed oftentimes either too dramatic or too robotic. She makes the women sound whiny or hysterical any time they’re showing any emotion, even anger. I kind of regret listening rather than reading these books cause I feel she’s flattened out characters that would have more depth from my imagination straight from the page.
Just when it got started it was over

Dragon Keeper is probably the slowest of the books as it is introducing us to characters that we’ll follow over four books. Alise’s set up is particularly long in its build-up. Leftrin is a bit of a confusing one to follow as well, but he gets better. Thymara is generally pretty cool. I liked her parts.
Anyway, hang in there if you’re a completionist like me. It’s definitely not the worst I’ve read.
