About this listen
Return to the world of the Liveships Traders and journey along the Rain Wild River in the second instalment of high adventure from the author of the internationally acclaimed Farseer trilogy.
The dragon keepers and the fledgling dragons are forging a passage up the treacherous Rain Wild River. They are in search of the mythical Elderling city of Kelsingra, and are accompanied by the liveship Tarman, its captain, Leftrin, and a group of hunters who must search the forests for game with which to keep the dragons fed. With them are Alise, who has escaped her cold marriage to the cruel libertine Hest Finbok in order to continue her study of dragons, and Hest's amanuensis, Bingtown dandy, Sedric.
Rivalries and romances are already threatening to disrupt the band of explorers: but external forces may prove to be even more dangerous. Chalcedean merchants are keen to lay hands on dragon blood and organs to turn them to medicines and profit. Their traitor has infiltrated the expeditionand will stop at nothing to obtain the coveted body parts. And then there are the Rain Wilds themselves: mysterious, unstable and ever perilous, its mighty river running with acid, its jungle impenetrable and its waterways uncharted.
Will the expedition reach their destination unscathed? Does the city of Kelsingra even exist? Only one thing is certain: the journey will leave none of the dragons nor their human companions unchanged by the experience.

Gripping story, had me engaged for hours at a time
Would you consider the audio edition of Dragon Haven to be better than the print version?
narration was excellent, allows me to listen while doing other things where i wouldn't normally be able to read.

i expected better from Audible
i'm still enjoying the story, 10 books in, but am pretty disappointed with the editing of the recording. A recurring theme for this series.
Chapters don't align with book chapters. The last chapter I started began mid-sentence! No titles on chapters, of course. A bunch of odd little editing errors too, like sentences repeated or one recording fading over another as if it's been very roughly edited together but no one's bothered listening through the whole thing. Plus, as others have said in many reviews, it's jarring that the narrator changes so often in the series, with new accents, new pronunciations. I don't understand why the narrators aren't following some pronunciation guide from the author, or at least following with the pronunciation from the previous books.
And... those mouth noises.

Excellent
Very difficult to stop listening to this one. The story, the characters and the narration exceeded expectations. Bring on book three.

Great book, bad narrator
All I can hear is this woman’s mouth noises. Such a put off! The story is great, well written.

Amazing fantasy series
These books are so good. It’s taken me this long to leave a review, but well worth the hundreds of hours to start with the assassin’s apprentice, and journeying all the way here :)

Fantastic story, terrible editing.
I was listening without earphones and wasn't distracted by the narrator's mouth noises, as were some of the other reviewers. Actually, I didn't find her performance to be bad at all, and certainly better than the narrator of the previous book in this series,
The two stars for Performance are because of the terrible editing: some parts are repeated due to a failure to edit them out; the audio chapters do not match the book chapters; and part of (at least) chapter nine is missing entirely, which I believe is unacceptable.
This level of poor editing is very disappointing, unfortunately compounded by the fact that issues such as these have been present all throughout the Realm of the Elderlings series so for.
It is a shame that I have to critique so harshly, given that in general, I have found there to be few, if any, issues with any of the other titles that I have listened to.
