I really loved Dragon Haven. I suppose a part of it has to do with nostalgia, as I'm forced to tally up just how many years ago I first read the Liveship books (ten!). But Robin once again wrote a beautiful story, and if I didn't love all the characters (Greft), I certainly understood and sympathised with them. What I really found amazing was the new lore behind dragons and elderlings introduced in the book, and I felt like there was just so much more I wanted to know by the end. And the characters arrived at better places than they started, sure, but there's so much potential for more! So fingers crossed the reference to her writing a 'Dragon Trader' book could mean we get to see some more of these new characters. I'd certainly like to see Sedric or Thymara (with Rapskal and Tats in tow, of course...) again. Oh, and I always imagined Kelsingra was the place Verity and Fitz visited - it seemed to fit, anyway.
And now I have a burning desire to reread the Farseer books again. Which is partly bad, as much as I love Robin's books I find they make it so much harder to appreciate other books I read. Nothing else really compares.
