Nah. Not gonna happen.
I truly just don't get the warm-and-fuzzies over dragons. I read the blurbs about the Novik books, and they look interesting but then I think, "Dragons? Nah." Just like there are no books of the Pern series around here; those dragons on the covers ensure that. I'm a Katie MacAlister fan, always read her books, but even she couldn't entice me with her Silver Dragons and Light Dragons series. |

Perhaps I should also mention Sarah Hoyt's "Magical British Empire" series and also her contemporary fantasy novels, starting with Draw One in the Dark.
All well worth a read, IMO. |

the more reason to enlist some noble Dragon intervention. Surely there must be some bard or chronicler of Dragonkind who can rid our bookshelves of these pesky undead? Especial attention should be given to eradicating those slick over muscled creatures that have invaded the grocery checkout lines with their tales of seduction of our innocent woman folk. (They always go for the bad boys don't they?) Luck; Ken |

That whole horse-mania thing to me seems to me to be more of an escape/avoidance mechanism rather than something benign. |

I actually was going to mention those, but then I blinked or something and the thought ran away. Yes, to Jane Yolen's Pit Dragon series!
