Nighteyes the wolf from "The Assassin's Apprentice" had first captured my likings. reading on, the series had got me totally fallen in love with The Fool the court jester, who brought the reading further to the introduction of more delightful characters in Althea the sailor-trader girl and Reyn the rain wild treasure hunter. and belatedly the spirited Malta. to develop a liking of Malta might stir a storm with other readers, but nah, cant help, Reyn loves her, 我只好爱屋及乌 ^^ Robin Hobb is good in sculpturing her characters :)
her newest release, the Rain Wild Chronicles had been on my reading list for a while. Moving to brissy certainly do no harm to the opportunity to lay hand on a copy of it.
my fondness of Trehaug the rain wild city, featured in the book title, might not be totally Reyn-induced ^^ the swampy marsh where an acidic river flows, had forced the rain wilders to engineer an entire city on sturdy tree tops. unearthing treasures from the ancient Elderling city buried under Trehaug was the sole reason that the city existed. not so much different from Kiruna up in the arctic circle aye? ^^ having that inclination, to be presented with a whole chronicle based on the rain wild would be an utter joy~
so far, the reading had been living up to expectations. Althea, Brashen and Paragon from the Liveship Traders Trilogy have paid a short appearance, which is always nice to have for sentimental reasons :) the only minor complain is that the characters in this series are not outstanding enough, just yet. Having high hopes for Thymara the “rain wild-touched” girl who’s borned with reptile claws.
Reading on, good day to y’all :)
