This was the third book in the Rain Wilds Chronicles. I am so happy to have found these books, it has turned into a great series that almost feels like a fantasy soap opera. He likes her, she likes him, she's married to this jerk who's in love with her best friend, all the while traveling upriver to a lost city and trying to keep a brood of deformed dragons alive. Oh yes, the love hexagons and the drama makes me devour these books and hunger for more. I want to compare Robin Hobb to Mercedes Lackey, but they're mostly similar only in the fact that girls would enjoy reading them more, I think. Both authors have also created a wonderful world that they use throughout different series, sometimes having characters mingle from series to series. Either way, City of Dragons is part of a wonderful series full of suspense, action, romance, and has me hooked!
