There’s no complexity in the story so far, it’s completely a setup for the next three books. That’s it, that’s seriously the plot of this book. The Dragon Keepers have to herd the dragons to find their lost legendary city, Kelsingra. The entire storyline in this book took place in the Rain Wild section of the world and plot-wise, the first book has a very simple premise.

A 3 star means that I've ignored friends to finish it and my sink is full of dirty dishes. So a 2 star from me means,yes, I liked the book, and I'd loan it to a friend and it went everywhere in my jacket pocket or purse until I finished it. If a book is so-so, it ends up under the bed somewhere, or maybe under a stinky judo bag in the back of the van. It's a good book that survives the reading process with me.
I LIKED it! That means I read the whole thing, to the last page, in spite of my life raining comets on me. The plot twists and turns, cinematic action comes in bursts, and villains are vile, while Danzi, Ping, and her pet rat are heroic, appealing companions who can fight or scheme their way out of every tight spot.** I am shocked to find that some people think a 2 star 'I liked it' rating is a bad rating. Beset with self-doubt, often making mistakes, she slowly becomes aware of her innate powers, which includes second sight. As they make their long journey east, Ping develops plausibly from a terrified, abused child into a confident young woman who truly deserves the official title of Dragon Keeper. He entrusts Ping with his precious and beautiful purple stone, which he is determined to take to the ocean.
When one of them dies and an evil hunter threatens to kill the other for his magical body parts, the old dragon, Danzi, escapes with the girl. In a remote western palace, Ping, a slave girl of unknown origin, serves the emperor's Dragon Keeper, an incompetent drunkard who neglects the two last-known dragons in his charge.
