Read These 15 Books With Dragons For High-Flying Fantasy Adventure
From "House of the Dragon" to "Fourth Wing" and more, dragons are having a bit of a moment in pop culture.

Not all dragons are created equal, though, as the wide variety of books about dragons makes very clear. While most books featuring dragons are set in some kind of classic epic-fantasy world, others put more of a quirky twist on the legends. Our picks for the best books with dragons include rich, sweeping fantasies like "Fourth Wing" by Rebecca Yarros and "The Priory of the Orange Tree" by Samantha Shannon alongside more unconventional takes on dragon lore like "When Women Were Dragons" by Kelly Barnhill and "Tooth and Claw" by Jo Walton.
