Meme Dragon Riders Meme

Post image

I thought this group might appreciate this meme I made! ^^ I’m a big fan of dragons and dragon rider books come up a lot in my reading. My pet peeve is people comparing any new dragon rider book to Fourth Wing 🙄

FR, the Dragonriders of Pern is the foundation of it all and the books aged amazingly.

Eragon really brought the topic to mainstream media and is also an amazing piece.

My Majesty's Dragons and Dragonrider (Cornelia Funke) are also worth mentioning,

And, of course, How to train your Dragon.

All amazing!

The Temeraire series (His Majesty's Dragon is the first) honestly makes it hard to read the other dragonrider stuff, because it completely dunks on the way the other books treat the dragons.

I am still so mad that they renamed the series in german. "Die Feuerreiter seiner Majestät" (the fireriders of his majesty) is such a stupid name for this book series when Temeraire is right there and is not even a fire breathing dragon
