*spoilers all books* Dragon Haven, Enjoy it? Hate it?

[londonlassie]

Relpda is a sweet darling, isn’t she? She really won my heart! And I was so glad, that Sedric was at last infatuated too.

No, I wasn’t straying into CoD. I haven’t also read it yet. I stopped with DH and decided to continue, when BoD is in my hands, resp. start all over again .
I refered to earlier discussions, because many fans had hoped that Fitz or the Fool might appear in the RWC. Which perhaps might be one reason, that they liked the RWC not as much as LST or Farseer.

Oh good, for a moment there I was terrified I'd been super-spoilered! Personally, I prefer the novels without Fitz, but I know I'm in the major minority there. I wouldn't mind the Fool making an appearance in these novels, but I can't imagine it because it's so Keepers-centric. Cameos don't suit the Fool. I liked him much less in his LST incarnation than when he was at the centre of things in the Tawny Man series.

It would appear the hobb dragons are arrogant, selfish creatures more by culture than by any other reason. Thus, dragons like Relpda and Heeby are fairly kind creatures.
They're still dragons, so they can be forceful, though...

I have to agree there to a point, but it seems to be a culture they're born with. Tintaglia was a selfish, bratty, arrogant creature from the moment she emerged from her cocoon.


I feel about the dragons the same way I felt about Malta when we first met her. I can read about her, I don't want to skip her chapters, but I can't stand her. Unlike Malta, I doubt I'll come to love and support Sintara throughout the novels, because she doesn't seem to have changed remotely so far, and has no intention of becoming a nicer being.

Heeby and Relpda are adorable, though.
