The Dragon Keeper

The relationship between the Dragon Keeper and the dragons feels so nuanced—I'm curious if this was inspired by real-world ideas of connection or entirely imagined.

I loved the character moments, but some parts felt a bit slow. Do others think those scenes added depth or could they have been shorter?

The details about the setting and lore are so rich—did Robin Hobb create a whole lore bible for this world, or do you think it grew naturally through writing?
