This list is for newly published (2023) dragon fiction.
Please keep it Middle Grade, YA and adults. No picture books!
Picture books and things not at least Middle Grade will be removed!
By that I mean, where an dragon is the main POV character or main supporting one.
This is NOT for books that merely feature a dragon, and nor is it for books that are focused on "shifter" content, where a dragon takes a human form for most (over half) of the book. It is also not for dragon rider books where the dragon is a side character. Please don't add a bunch of dragon rider or shifter romance books just because they include a dragon! Those books will be removed. For example, the book Dragon Rider by Cornelia Funke would be included, whereas the book Dragoneer Academy by E. E. Knight would not.
The book should have the dragon as the main plot and focus of the story (if they are not the POV character). If you are not sure, please ask in the comments rather than adding things that may not apply. Thanks!
This list is NOT for books you have read or want to read in 2023 (no adding 2018/19/1998/etc books because you read or want to read them in 2023). If a book is not published in 2023, it doesn't belong here.
Sequels to books in series are included.
