Anyone who doesn’t think the dragon is the ideal pet, can debate me here please? (Without regards to which book is selected from the answer given)
You’d have problems taking a very sick dragon to the vet. I mean, if it can at least walk under its own power that’s one thing, but you’d need a Very Large Truck for one that’s out cold. And a crane to put it on the trailer. Then you have to find a vet who’s willing to look at it. Not all of them will treat reptiles, or large animals of any sort. Also, they have to have a parking lot that will take your truckload of dragon (ours doesn’t).
Also, the food bill would be prohibitively large. Can you imagine how much meat you’d need to feed a dragon for a year? Now think about current grocery prices. The dragon won’t pay out of its hoard (by definition—you hoard a hoard), so it’s all on you.
Don’t even try to think about cleaning up what comes out of the other end.
I worked my way backwards from my favorite series: Assassins Apprentice (Realm of the Elderlings) and found that the path to this series is WAY off!
“Animals more your thing?” - NO!?!?!
The main character has the deepest relationship with animals I’ve ever read.
spoiler
He literally has a form of animal telepathy.
“Looking for an old-fashioned Trilogy?” - YES!?!?!?
The series is 16 books long. If you want to make the argument that only the Fitz books count, there are nine of them…
I feel like ‘Dune’ should have been there somewhere. Maybe I’m missing it.
Iirc Stardust does, in fact, have pirates. This chart is lying to you! Airship Pirates are pirates too
Is there a higher red version?
