After my rant about the first book in the Rain Wilds Chronicles by Robin Hobb I didn't think I would pick up the continuation but since I got a large gift-card on Amazon for Christmas I'm now reading the second book: Dragon Haven.

I think my anticipation for the first book was misdirected. I expected the dragons to be the centre of the book like in Noviks Termeraire series but the Rain Wilds Chronicles are more about the human relations than it is about the dragons.

Why the book is split into two still annoys me since the first book doesn't really end.

I also find it useful to read it on the Kindle since I've come across a lot of words I didn't really know the definition of. Once again the Kindle proves more useful than reading on regular paper.
