This is purely the opinion of several anons, so like all opinions, take it with a gain of salt.
This does not necessarily mean that the books are bad, per say.


Dragon's Curse: Elixir Quest (2012) by Sean Walton
Historical Fiction (TF/xenofiction)
Part 1 of a three book series and also a prequel series to the author's main work.
This novel would be worth putting on the main page if not for the bad pacing and medieval prose. If you try really, really hard maybe you might be able to mentally gloss over it. Should be noted that the main protag gets cucked by his human wife but ends up settling with a nice, strong-willed dragoness.

Dragons of Etra (2021-2022) by Chester Young
Fantasy (xenofiction)
A Wings of Fire-esque novel that hits all of the standard cliches of a typical rogue/assassin fantasy and the series as a whole seems to be attempting to achieve a world record of cramming as many dragon tropes as possible in the entirety of 2 books. As a side note, the author does has a passion for rider (bonding) and dragon pov stories, and even keeps his own list of dragon literature on his website.
Dragons of Etra Book 1: The Forgotten Element
no ISBN, e-book only

DC 4.75/5
Humans are basically treated as mythological creatures that don't exist. They do in the second book. 3.75/5
CA 5/5
See above. Wyvern-riding and mental bonding exists in the second novel, however.
PS 2/5
Sort of does run into the same pitfalls as Wings of Fire where dragons seem to have almost the same socioeconomic issues and societies as humans.


Fire of the Phoenix (2021) by Azariah Jade
Fantasy (xenofiction)
A coming of age story that begins when a terrible calamity falls upon a hatchling's clan, forcing him into exile with the burden of a horrible curse. This would be in the main page if not for the pacing of the latter half of the novel.
ISBN-13 979-8452680505

DC 3.75/5
This product may contain humans.
CA 4/5
PS 3/5
The "curse" and its source acts as the main antagonist of the story, with humans playing a relatively minor role. More focus is given to the different customs between dragon clans and their way of life.


Lazy Scales (2020) by DM Gilmore
Urban Fantasy (TF)
The last dragon on Earth seeks to propagate his species. An ordinary high school student has a very lucky unlucky day. Part of a 10-book series where the plot and worldbuilding only starts to get interesting around 5 novels in. Would recommend if you like vore.

My Name is Simon: I, Dragon (2016) by Nathan Roden
Fantasy (TF)
A prince is cursed as part of a scheme to steal the royal throne. I'm just going to save you an entire 4 books worth of time to say that he chooses to have the curse lifted and become an ordinary human by the end.

DC 1/5

The other dragons in the story are unintelligent beasts.

Dragonfall (2023) by Laura Ram
Fantasy (reverse TF/implied dragonriding)
Despite being a yaoi written for women, this book could have been great if the dragon had not commited the greatest sin of h*manform. Atleast the author tried to make dragons seem like a compelling alien race with different values from humans.

He wakes up in the modern world to find his name reduced to legend and both magic and technology to have progressed beyond his comprehension.

Becoming the Dragon: A Fantasy Saga (2017) by Alex Sapegin

Couldn't finish this because the prose was giving me a migraine. I apologize for not giving the author a chance but this reads like they put Russian directly into google translate.

Talon Series (2014) by Julie Kagawa

Basically Twilight with dragons, where the main cast spend most of their time in humanform and think more like vampires with a grand conspiracy to take over the world. Replace Bella Swan with a girl who has a super special secret dragon bloodline (even amongst the other dragons), Edward and Jacob with a a rogue dragon agent and dragonslayer respectively and her brother with Peeta Mellark from The Hunger Games, and you have the entire 5 book series in a nutshell.
