Dragon Champion

Unlike the other entries on this list, Age of Fire actually stars dragons as the characters. It’s an interesting twist with the story being solely about dragons. This carries on the popular animal-perspective fantasy (Watership Down, Redwall series, etc), but one that features dragons, not moles or rabbits. This is not a gentle fairy tale though, and there is plenty of violence and death in this story. The author renders both human and dragon characters in shades of grey. Knight E.E. takes many of the typical dragon conceits (dragons love gems and gold, all dragons are violent beasts, etc) and changes them around, injecting his own mythos into the world; it works, and the world he creates feels realistic and well drawn. Overall, a well done series. A must read if you are a dragon fan.
