Dragon Haven is a fantasy novel by American writer Robin Hobb, the second novel in The Rain Wild Chronicles. In a blog post Robin Hobb wrote: "The untitled book I am working on now picks up the tale of the Tarman expedition in search of Kelsingra. It’s my work in progress and threatens to be a long book!". Dragon Haven is written in third-person narrative from the viewpoint of several key characters. The narrative joins these separate threads together as a party of malformed dragons, their human keepers and other supporters are on a quest for the legendary Elderling city of Kelsingra.
There's very little plot, and lots of boring character drama. I'm guessing its important as setup for future, where all of the dragon keepers are full elderlings, doing important Elderling stuff and changing the world., but its hard to take these characters seriously.
Hoping this speeds up in the next few books, and I can get back to the Fitz series.
