I have been thinking about the stories I enjoy writing lately, and all those stories seem to revolve around dragons. So for today, I want to share with you my list of favourite dragon books, movies, etc.
The Hobbit or There and Back Again
This classic story is still a great story to focus on. I have both read the book and watched the movies. The movies can drag a little due to the length of the movies, 2 plus hours each, but they definitely have stand out moments.
Eragon and the Inheritance Cycle
These books tell a great story, with different twists and turns in a well defined world. They carry many themes and ideas from other stories, but for a first set of works by a young author, they are great. The movie version of Eragon does not do the story justice when compared to the book, but as a stand alone movie it is worth a watch.
Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire
The movie scene of the dragon challenge in the Triwizard Tournament is great.
Jennifer Scales books
These books are similar to the stories that I am working on, as people have the ability to turn into dragons, but that is where the similarities end. The books tell of a conflict between two ancient races as well as a young girl coming in to her destiny.
Game of Throne series
I have just started the first book, but I am looking forward to getting to the dragons.
Sword of Truth
The dragon featured in the first two books reminds me of classic dragons, out for blood, but willing to work with others when it serves her needs.
Five Hundred Kingdoms
These books feature dragons becoming champions of good, as well as hording more than just gold, instead they value other things like books or knowledge.
I will be adding more dragon focused books, movies and so forth as I find more. Happy reading!!!!
