G’rwynn posting time‼️ ‼️

A stone dragon who lives in my lounge room. Gave him a name in a similar style to how the dragon names in The Last Dragon Chronicles book series work!

My favorite book from my favorite book series 🤭

[darkdrag0ni]

Hi! The clay dragons series is by Chris d'Lacey, is called the Last Dragon Chronicles, and I haven't read it in a bit except now I will because I remember liking it. First book is called The Fire Within

No help on the first book (sorry) but I can recommend the Worldquake series by Scarlett Thomas because from what I can remember that was also good

Above bit, I did a quick search and found The Children of the Lamp series by P. B. Kerr which has a Nimrod Godwin who has the "focus word: qwertyuiop" (from the wiki) and is 7 books long

I have not looked through the tags but I do hope I helped

Have you read Eragon? If so, what did you think of it?

Okay confession time

when i was a small child, perhaps 8 or 9, I was given a coupon to a bookstore, and my dad took me and helped me pick out some books. I believe I picked out Levin Thumps and the Gateway to Foo, the first book in Ranger's Apprentice, some book I can't remember the name of that was urban fantasy and involved djinn and also the relevant people got magic after their wisdom teeth came in kinda similar to Percy Jackson in some ways, and Eragon.

I read all the books. Loved all of them. It's actually really bugging me I can't remember the name of that book, or the author. I remember the two main characters were siblings and they had to pick a word to cast their magic with and the girl picked something ridiculously long and unpronounceable and the boy picked "qwertyuiop". If anyone knows what book this is, PLEASE let me know. This is seriously bugging me.

But that's off-topic.

I read Eragon. I was about 9, maybe.

And I LOVED it. I loved Saphira so much.

I loved it so much that two lifechanging things happened: (1) my favorite color became blue. Because Saphira is blue. Even though I don't really care much about Saphira anymore, my favorite color is still blue. and (2) I first came to love dragons.

I had read books with dragons before. I think there was that one series with tiny clay dragons that someone makes? I read that, and liked it. But my love of dragons can all be traced directly back to Eragon.

I don't really care very much about the series anymore, I don't participate in the fandom. But Eragon will always hold a very very special place in my heart, for it was the series that introduced me to dragons.

The themes of epic fantasy works, but terrible:

God is dead. Sometimes I think I still hear his voice. (Stormlight Archive)

Genocide is a-okay if they were the ones who started it! (Elder Scrolls)

Don't do incest or your kids will turn into petty tyrants. (Game of Thrones)

Lion jeebus is awesome and amazing and paganism is evil and spooky. (Chronicles of Narnia)

Have a worldly possession you think might be evil? Chuck it in a volcano! (Lord of the Rings)

Imagination is all you need to save the world! (Neverending Story)

Don't be a genocidal tyrant, or a twelve-year-old with magic powers will kick your ass. (Avatar)

You know that saying "Nothing under the Sun is new"? That, but it's the history of an entire continent. (Wheel of Time)

Don't murder children, you asshole. (Dragon Prince)

Whatever you do, don't ever let your party off their leash. (Dungeons & Dragons)

THIS SERIES STARTS OFF SO CALM AND GETS SURREAL SO QUICKLY. ITS GENUINELY INSANE and one of my favorite series ever because of it

People clearly never read the dragon books (these ones)

Because no one ever talks about the fact that book 1 is entirely a silly little story about a single mom who makes clay dragons and a college student who moves into her spare room and befriends her daughter by helping her save a squirrel, and by the end of the series the college student has become a bear, ceased to exist, turned into god, and his college girlfriend has given birth to the second christ, meanwhile the ENTIRETY of book 6 takes place in a completely alternate reality which is like…not explained until the end

some rick riordan reader: I know Norse, Greek, and Egyptian mythology haha I ace the school tests, I'm just too good-

east asian, south asian, african, northern european, slavic, latin american mythologies:

i recommend wikipedia's list of pantheons and rick riordan presents books to help with this. you are missing out if you haven't read Aru Shah, Storm Runner, Dragon Pearl, Tristan Strong, Race to the Sun, Paolo Santiago, City of the Plague God, and The Last Fallen Star. if you're an young adult, American Gods by Neil Gaiman is THE mythology book that redefines modern concepts of deities. The Freya series by Matthew Laurence is also an excellent, more teenager-friendly take on modern gods. honorable non-mythology mention from riordan presents: Sal and Gabi.

Anyways why is it always a sailor who gets to have an interesting relationship with a dragon
