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

[Nightchade]

I’ve recently finished DH. I did enjoy the books but wonder how much of my enjoyment was due to the enhancement of the other books set in the Realm of the Ederlings . Its hard not to compare with the earlier books and find the RW wanting in terms of complexity and poetry and I cant see me revisiting them and gaining further insights through re-reading in the same way as the others. However I would still like to read more about the RW and the characters. I could see Rapskals character developing into something much more complex and would love to see Hest’s reaction to Sedrics relationship with Carson for example!
Overall, I liked the way the same sex relationships were developed (although still found myself fantasising as to whether this might be a kind of 'practice run' for depicting the Fool and Fitz to get together in a 'last dance of romances'! ..groan..sorry I just love those little dancers and wanted to fit them in..) -as I’ve said elsewhere it is good that an author is doing this and would hope that in a future book she might explore women’s possible intimate relationships with each other –again to reflect life more accurately. I have hopes for Thymara although it was also good to see a character like her not defining herself in terms of a relationship.

Beware-spoilers for TM

I couldn’t help trying to link the events with those in TM as I imagine the events are taking place towards the end of that series given Tintaglia’s departure to be with her new mate. I assumed Kelsingra was the same city found by Fitz and look forward to a scene where the Fools Elderling tent is seen! (although I think I would cry).

Theories: which I want to be true…. (someone may have said this elsewhere but I haven’t read anything so far )

i) I can’t help but think that the dragon recalled flying around a volcano was Icefyre? The name seems to fit, his fascination with fire and ice, and I can’t remember if it was ever explained how Icefyre came to be imprisoned in the glacier. Could that be how he was imprisoned or would he have had to have been consumed by another dragon for that memory to have survived? I don’t have the DH book to hand but seem to recall the memory was the knowledge of another dragon who had witnessed or knew the story.
ii) Also, the great flood. I wonder if the explosion that freed Icefyre was what ultimately resulted in the flood ? It is commented that such floods could be caused by events happening a long way away and some time before. (I think this comment has to mean something) Aslevjal isn’t depicted on any map but an Iceberg calving on some distant shore does effect the tides I believe?

Sorry if I’m repeating old news here, but I’d love to hear what people think.
