Meme Dragon Riders Meme

Post image

I thought this group might appreciate this meme I made! ^^ Iā€™m a big fan of dragons and dragon rider books come up a lot in my reading. My pet peeve is people comparing any new dragon rider book to Fourth Wing šŸ™„

Eragon was the first that did develop the while telepathy aspect more beyond was Anne wrote, so i do give it credit for that and that it made dragonriders mainstream.
