Recs if you like Eon: Dragoneye Reborn...

Duologies. Duologies! A list full of duologies. This has a collection of titles I'm interested in and some recommended to me. To save you the trouble, I made sure to put both books in a duology in this list. Enjoy! 💐

it's all about the ✨ aesthetic ✨

psa: this only consists of books i've read, or that a trusted friend who's also chinese has read. i don't make it a habit to seek out chinese-inspired fantasy written by white authors these days, but feel free to leave any relevant titles in the comments and i'll check them out!

I know there are a couple other dragon lists out there, but a lot of them were missing some of my favourites, so I'm just making my own!

These books the dragons will play a significant role in the plot, even if the focus of the book isn't dragons themselves (like the Hobbit).

For books in a series, I'll only be adding the first one.

Feel free to drop suggestions! I'm trying to include all the dragon books I can.

Books set in an Asian or Asian-inspired setting or incorporates elements of an Asian culture or mythology. Only the first book in a series is listed.

A compendium of books featuring dragons

Each year, for Chinese New Year, we do a rec list with books aligned to the Chinese zodiac animal for the year. Most of these books are queer, though often it's subtextual. We've done 3 lists so far: 2024, dragons; 2025, snakes; 2026, horses. Find all the recs for these lists here! (This list is presented by Duck Prints Press, the indie publisher focused on publishing queer art and stories by queer creators!)

Dragons, Wyrms and all those other fire-breathing creepy crawlies! Even if not all the dragons in these books breathe fire in the first place (only the first book of a series is added to this list)

Books featuring humans bonding with dragons or dragon riders as a major plot point.

books that are shit from a dog that i've written an essay review on to explain why

I swear this is all I read for years! I can't be the only one+

It’s middle school again and you just went to the library little alternative kid 🖤

I grew up loving me some dragons, and these are probably the reason why.

There is a magic older than fire. These are the dragons who have lived so long they have become the landscape, or so wise they have forgotten what it is to be a beast. They are philosophers of the abyss, weavers of the world-mist, and creatures of pure mathematics and dream. To hear them speak is to risk your mind. We call them... the Ancient Minds
