The Wearle by Chris d'Lacey
5.0
Read for: motherfucking dragons, fantasy politics, cool characters, super detailed world building
I remember back in the day when the scholastic book fair showed up, and one of many books I conned my mother to get me was Chris D’lacey’s Icefire. Which was actually a sequel but whatever. D’lacey’s Last Dragon Chronicles landed with me as good, but ultimately... bizarre series, and that it wasn’t the best written. But like I said, that was years ago, and more than I care to think about.
But anyways, I was in B&N’s kid’s corner, as I sometimes like to check in to for that little piece of nostalgia and wonder... and there was a brand new series from an author that stuck with me.
The Erth Dragons kicks off with a incredible bang of a plot full of twists and turns, and a lot of names and new terminology, but holy shit it works. It works so well. This series, set in the same world it seems as his first, is damn good. I can’t shut up about it and I’m dying for the sequel (which is the blurb that made me want to read this series to begin with!)
All I’m going to say is that a kid imprints with a baby dragon and if that isn’t the coolest shit, get the fuck out of my face.
I’m not 100% sure how this is only “middle-school” level, but this is definitely worth the read for any reader. For me, this is sometimes I’m going to revisit in the future.
