   I read Onyx Storm before the Internet could spoil it for me.

   Now I can go on tumblr again.

     @aleen Okay, so I'm a typical self-centered human and my favorite type of magical creature books are the ones that feature friendships between magical creatures and humans. From what I can tell this is all about dragon war and politics, much like a lot of YA fantasy today but with dragons, so I'm not sure.

     I like Fourth Wing well enough, but I don't really understand the level of hype for these books.

     They're good and they're not 100% predictable for me (a person who's really good at pattern matching)! They're not groundbreaking. But there are a lot of dragons, so I'm in.

     @aleen Cool, maybe I'll give the first book a shot. Thanks!

     @Fragglemuppet it is very war college & politics heavy, but the dragon/human relationships feature heavily.

     Note that these are new adult rather than YA--there are explicit sex scenes
