With the loop finally over "Soldier Shaman" I thought I was done with Robin Hobb. And with the fantasy!
But there, embedded in trouble, I took off gracefully. I find there all the talented Robin Hobb engaging characters to portray in an extremely exotic environment.
I enjoyed the short novel, "Homecoming" where Robin Hobb through the letters and the diary of one of exiled to Castelcerf cursed Shores, told the founding of towns in the desert rains. These arboreal cities where life is so hard that it leaves no room for emotion.
Here, we take the way of the wilderness of acid rain, just when the strap Tintaglia, after holding its commitment to defend against human invaders Chalcède, let them get by with young dragons from sea snakes cocoons . The people of Bingtown, in a city under reconstruction after the war, continue to trade under new rules but bad habits are quick to return.
The dragons which it was hoped both born with different disabilities.
Many questions arise.
These dragons they take their flight one day they will remain under the responsibility of humans?
They find their way to the city of the Ancients, a world that Robin Hobb let us glimpse into "The Royal Assassin" and "Raiders of the sea" but we hope to learn much more in this series.
I found my bearings from the first pages, as if this country had settled in a corner of my memory with its roads, its legends and heroes. As for "The shaman soldier", I had read almost every time much of the previous volume.
Here, in these pages, I feel at home right away.
The most difficult will probably say that Robin Hobb lingers on the details, but here, it's for my enjoyment.
Another pleasant surprise, with new characters whose fascinating Thymara, we find the Paragon vivenef and Althea ...
What's more, if not the pleasure of reunion!
Reunion with Robin Hobb and Fantasy
