Collider has compiled a list of seven fantasy novels featuring dragons that it rates as flawless reads, spanning a range of settings and styles for fans of the mythical creatures. The list highlights books that portray dragons in very different ways, from fearsome allies to ambiguous or animalistic figures, showing the breadth of how the creature has been used across the genre.

Among the titles featured are Emily Rodda's "Dragons of Deltora", a young-readers compilation continuing the Deltora Quest saga; Evan Winter's "The Rage of Dragons", set in a Bronze Age Africa-inspired world and praised by author Rick Riordan; and Andrzej Sapkowski's "The Sword of Destiny", a Witcher short-story collection featuring the dragon Villentretenmerth. The list also includes Brandon Sanderson's stand-alone Cosmere novel "Tress of the Emerald Sea", among further entries not fully detailed in the extract provided.
