Harry
Potter may have
brought mainstream America
to greater awareness of magic, spells and wizardry, but J.K. Rowling
isn’t the
only author with a handle on the fantastical. Author Robin Hobb recently
released Dragon Haven, the second
work in the trilogy known as “The Rain Wild Chronicles.” Dragon
Haven picks up the action where Hobb’s first release of the
series, Dragon Keeper, left off. Dragon
Haven is an enthralling tale of
dragons and humans struggling to survive in the war-torn world of the Rain Wild
River. With heroic
courage and dashing boldness, characters such as Sedric, a man who
drinks
dragon blood, and Thymara, the clawed Rain Wild native, not to mention
the
story’s 15 dragons, are preternatural and mysterious, changing and
developing
throughout their adventures. Hobb, who also writes under the pen name
Megan
Lindholm, is the author of a number of fantasy works, including the
best-selling “Farseer Trilogy.” Hobb will visit Boswell Book
Co. on May 24 and Next
Chapter Bookshop on May 25 to discuss Dragon
Haven. Both events begin at 7 p.m.
