Dragon and Flame For CD Challenge !
I am not immune to this propaganda…
Do you like long fantasy series, but are tired of authors never finishing them?
Do you like interesting magic systems?
Do you like when characters form intense even psychic bonds with animal companions?
Do you like your heart getting ripped out of your chest and then stuffed back in full to bursting and but then ripped out again to get stomped on but it turns out you like that too uhhh let's call it... intense yearning
Do you like dragons? Of course you do, why else would you be on this blog!
WELL DO I HAVE THE BOOK SERIES FOR YOU!
The Realm of the Elderlings is a 16-book series is comprised of four trilogies and a quartet. All of which have been finished. Yes that's right, Robin Hobb saw other authors who can't seem to finish their multi-book fantasy epics and said "I will finish mine 4 different times to show you it's incredibly easy actually." She also has written multiple other series (some under the pen name Megan Lindholm), set in different universes.
So, where to start?
The components of RotE are:
The Farseer Trilogy
The Liveship Traders Trilogy
The Tawny Man Trilogy
The Rain Wild Chronicles
Fitz and the Fool Trilogy
The three bolded trilogies above are told from the perspective of FitzChivalry Farseer, one of the main/major characters in this universe and my eternal blorbo. The Liveship Traders trilogy and Rain Wild Chronicles are told from several points of view, and happen in chronological order between the series above and flesh out the worldbuilding, lore, history, etc.
For the most complete look at the universe, you can of course read everything. However if you want to stick with just one character, you can read the three bolded trilogies only. And of course, if you don't want to commit to a metric ton of words either way, you can just read the first trilogy and see what you think. Though I do think the levels of joy/pain/adoration increase with each work as you get more invested in the characters, of course.
OR. You can in fact read the Liveship Traders trilogy or the Rain Wild Chronicles quartet completely independently of the others. I actually started with Rain Wild Chronicles because those books have the highest concentration of dragons--it was actually a follower of this blog who recommended them to me, and I decided to jump into those rather than commit to The Whole Series (which at the time was only 13 books not 16). But I loved the writing style and wanted to learn more about the world, so got into the rest, and now I actually think the Rainwilds books are the weakest of the bunch (though I still enjoyed them initially)!
But You're Following This Blog, DailyDragons, So Here's The Part Of The Pitch You're Actually Invested In
Now I will be up front that you don't get many dragons in the first trilogy. There are a kind of dragons that appear at the end but dragons are not the main focus of this one. However Hobb learns from her mistakes about not including tons of dragons in her fantasy world and you get more in the next parts of the series.
The Liveship books deal with sea serpents and dragons in very interesting ways I don't want to spoil, though it's a slow build. But VERY fascinating reveals into the dragon's biology, life history, and magic.
The plot of the later half of the Tawny Man Trilogy revolves around dealing with how the world of this story used to have dragons but they have practically gone extinct. Less direct contact with dragons but still a dragon-centric last book.
Rainwilds is chock full of dragons. Including as POV characters. Can't complain about lack of dragons here at all.
Fitz & The Fool Trilogy is lighter on the dragons at first and then they show up en force at the end. Ta da!
anyway please read these books and join me in my eternal suffering. wait, suffering? nevermind who said that. shhh. it's fine. you will love fitzchivalry farseer. you will love the fool. you will never be the same again.
I've been re-reading Realm of the Elderlings and feeling the love for character and setting again. Here's Tintaglia and Icefyre. No spoilers! Go read Realm of the Elderlings by Robin Hobb! 🖤

Here there be dragons! I’m excited to announce that I’ll be launching another Kickstarter in August, this time to fund the printing of Dragons: Wild and Domestic, an art book featuring my dragon-related art and lore!

Spotlighting my dragon zines because they were two years in the making!!! When I first tried to get all my Big Dragon Feelings (zoology, spec bio, fantasy, gender, rage) on paper I got frustrated and shelved the project for a year. When I came back to it I thought "This is okay actually but it's still missing something." A year after that I drafted a whole new zine that was more of a short autobiographical essay. Then I rewrote bits of the original zine (which is more of a poem) and suddenly they worked as a pair. The Reality of Dragons is illustrated with historical public domain images and The Reality of Dragons: A History features photos I took of my own dragon collection (plus one Albrecht Dürer artwork). I wanted to present my toys with the gravitas of museum pieces in a completely sincere way. When this run sells out I might reprint them as a double-sided stapled zine because folding minis is actually murder on my bad shoulder /:

Been thinking about this movie again
It's the simple things ☀️ It's May. It's warm. It's sunny. The gardening is in full swing. Perfect time to lay in the grass, listen to the birdsong, read and rest! :D It's been a while since my last Leif in the sun piece and I think current sentiment is a perfect opportunity! Here's all of them, 2025-2021. Print and sticker are up on my patreon in May!
