Scripted in Fantasy and Fiction discussion

I’m quite the GOT, ASOIAF, and HOTD fan and I’ve been desperately chasing after that same kind of vibe with other books, only to find that there aren’t that many dragon fantasy books? I find it so surprising. I know Fourth Wing is all the hype rn (the mixed reviews have me wondering whether or not it’ll be for me, maybe someone can convince me to pick it up?) but I was wondering if anyone else had any dragon fantasy recommendations!! <3

I haven't read this book, so I don't know if it is good but someone recommened it, so maybe: It is called Fireborne by Rosaria Munda. I don't really know what it is about but you can look it up. If you read it, tell me what you think cause I might pick it up too.

Ooooo I’ve heard of it but haven’t read the summary yet. Will def let you know how it is whenever I get to it!! Thank you for the rec🫶🏻

Either you love Fourth Wing, or you realise that the romance is underdeveloped. I kind of love it, because the dragons are amazing. If you're not sure about it, maybe wait till it's released in paperback so it's cheaper, but you should definitely try it.

As for other dragon recs, I'm on the third Throne of Glass and it kind of has dragons (I don't wanna spoil if you haven't read) and from what I've heard, they get more prominent in the rest of the books in the series. I highly recommend this series!!!!

Here's a list! Hope it helps (:
1. Rise of the Ranger
2. Dragonslayer
3. The Sorceress and the Cygnet
4. The Waking Fire
5. Eragon
6. The Priory of the Orange Tree
7. His Majesty's Dragon
8. Fireborne
9. To Shape a Dragon's Breath
10. Dragonfall
11. Seraphina
12. The Ruin of Kings
13. The Rage of Dragons
14. After the Dragons

The book Scorpio Rising by Fibi Marie is a really cool fantasy novel and the first of a series she is writing. The main character descends from dragon riders, and they are thought to be extinct in the world, but they make a comeback. I highly recommend!

Fourth Wing
House of Dragons
The Last Dragon King
War of Dragons
To Kiss a Dragon
The Color of Dragons

I highly recommend! Fourth Wing Definitely worthwhile reading! I really loved the character and world building, Rebecca Yarros has done a great job writing it!

Anyone that can recommend a dragon high fantasy but with good romance?

Robin hobb. Robin hobb~ the first fareseer trilogy takes a while to get to them but they’re there.

Also im surprised with all the 4th wing talk that Dragonriders of pern isn’t mentioned more. Its not romance heavy but its like, the og dragon series.

Oh and it’s not high fantasy but like… alternative history fantasy. If you want dragons, temeraire/his majesty’s dragon by Naomi novik. It’s a “what if everyone had a dragon fleet” during the napoleonic wars. Master and commander/horatio hornblower with dragons. Lots of traveling the world and fighting in wars and whatnot with your bbf who is a dragon.

The Dragon Mage by ML Spencer was fantastic! Fireborne series was also very good. Two of my favorite reads so far this year.
