Guided by the great blue dragon Tintaglia, a tangle of serpents fights its way up the Rain Wild River to the cocooning grounds. But the creatures which emerge from the cocoons are a travesty of the powerful, shining dragons of old; some cannot fly, others are stunted or deformed. To save the dragons, a band of dragon keepers, hunters and chroniclers must attend them if they are to find their true home--the legendary Elderling city of Kelsingra.
Easy short read. Liked all the new characters, and the change of location. I'm reading the whole series (Rain Wild Chronicles, 4 books) as one large book, so I didn't mind the abrupt ending.
Not my favourite book set in this world. I have a sneaking suspicion I already read this when it was first released. But I recalled very little of it, so maybe I didn't finish it then. I have the next 3 lined up to read now, so will go straight to them. Maybe the characters will grow on me!
