As a fantasy lover who leans more to the paranormal/urban fantasy side of the genre, and who usually sticks to smaller or romance-focused stories when reading high fantasy, I don't tend to read a lot about your average scary, large, fire-breathing kind of dragon. I have, however, read some books about dragon shifters, humanoid dragons, half-dragon beings, and dragons who are otherwise somewhat...

I know the world has had enough "hot takes" to last a lifetime, but don't worry, I think these are all pretty benign confessions. Mostly just things I've seen readers talk about a lot or express a lot of love for that I don't quite feel the same way about. A post full of things that will make you all judge me!

Darkside Detective and the sequel were great. Point-and-click...
