Waucoma Bookstore and Columbia Gorge Community College are hosting author Robin Hobb for a book reading and discussion on Thursday, Feb. 9th at 12pm. The reading will be the Hood River Campus of Columbia Gorge Community College (1730 College Way, Hood River, 97031). Hobb will be discussing her writing and her new book City Of Dragons, the third book of the Rain Wilds Chronicles.

About the Book
New York Times bestselling author Robin Hobb returns to world of the Rain Wilds—called “one of the most gripping settings in modern fantasy” (Booklist)—in City of Dragons. Continuing the enthralling journey she began in her acclaimed Dragon Keeper and Dragon Haven, Hobb rejoins a small group of weak, half-formed and unwanted dragons and their displaced human companions as they search for a legendary sanctuary. Now, as the misfit band approaches its final destination, dragons and keepers alike face a challenge so insurmountable that it threatens to render their long, difficult odyssey utterly meaningless. Touching, powerful, and dazzlingly inventive, Hobb’s City of Dragons is not to be missed—further proof that this author belongs alongside Raymond E. Feist, Terry Brooks, and Lois McMaster Bujold in the pantheon of fantasy fiction’s true greats.
