Recenzje

"Hobb's characterization continues to be top-notch, particularly with Thymara, the outcast teenage girl. Her self-awareness and surety is a delight and her insistence on belonging to no one but herself is simply wonderful." - Romantic Times

"fast action, deep emotional bonds and a great ending...[I] encourage you to check out Dragon Haven" - Blogcritics.com

"Hobb creates a completely alluring portrait of dragons and their culture." - Bellingham Herald on DRAGON HAVEN

"Hobb has a deft hand with accessible and sympathetic characters, regardless of their fantasy trappings, and he makes effective use of the divide between what the reader knows and what the characters know to build tension....A quick and fun read" - Miami Herald on DRAGON HAVEN

"A satisfying story" - The News-Star (Monroe, LA) on DRAGON HAVEN

"Hobb's strength has always been her ability to create compelling characters to inhabit her richly detailed worlds. The Rain Wilds Chronicles is no exception." - Shroud Magazine Book Reviews on DRAGON KEEPER and DRAGON HAVEN
