The Erth Dragons: The Wearle, by Chris D'Lacey

 I finished this book last week and just couldn't find the time to put my paws to the keyboard. As a pug, I don't officially hibernate, but this cold weather sure makes me want to sleep a lot! You, too? 

Anyway, the first book in the most recent series by dragon-writer D'Lacey, author of the Last Dragon Chronicles (The Fire Within, etc.) from a few years back. You've heard of that, right? A very, very popular series for the last several years...if you read dragon stories, you've probably read some or all of that series already!

The Erth Dragons starts off really slowly, I think, but pretty quickly finds its footing and takes off. A fantasy story, of course, of dragons and humans interacting, not usually very well, and the results of their interactions. Let's just say more than one person gets burned by dragon fire!

If you are a die-hard dragon fan, you will likely enjoy this book and series. I admit to never having read Wings of Fire (yet, but I will some day!), but I do know a couple of dragon books that are awesome. Dragon's Milk by Susan Fletcher and Dealing with Dragons by Patricia C. Wrede are two of the best, in my opinion. Erth Dragons was good, but not as good as these two. If you like dragon books, you will probably like this, and other D'Lacey titles. If not, go find Dragon's Milk or Dealing with Dragons first...they are both wonderful! 3 paws.
