One of the most famous series of fantasy books is the Dragonriders of Pern, and that is where many readers first fell in love with dragon tales. The first book in the series was published in 1968 and it's been translated into more than 20 languages. It's about a group called dragon riders, who fight against an alien species that wants to destroy their world. They do this by training dragons and riding them into battle against these aliens. These Dragon fantasy books were considered as one of the most influential works ever to come out of science fiction and speculative fiction.
It used to be dragon fantasy books were almost all written for children and young adults, but they've come a long way. Now, millions of adult readers regularly read dragon fantasies, with the dragons serving as pets, villains, transportation—or even as the main protagonists!
The genre lends a greater level of creativity to a typically medieval setting. And what is more exciting than a dragon battle?
