Has anyone read the Dragons in our Midst series by Bryan Davis?

No, but it sounds interesting. I'll look into it. What's it about?

It's about these half dragon kids that fulfill prophecy made by Merlin. It's set in the present.

how many book are out?

All of them. There are two series. Four books in each. The first book in the first series is called Raising Dragons. The first book in the second series is called Eye of the Oracle

wow interesting. I'm gonna check it out. Seems interesting.

isn't there a topic about this somewhere? I swore I've talked about this series before... (I've read all but the last book of the second series, aka: book 8 )

i read the first three, i thought they were okay, the author threw a little to much religion in it for my likeing.

I've only read the first series. I've never talked to anyone else that has read the series aside from my friend who told me about it. My friends family is religious and I only go to church when I visit my grandma but the religion didn't bother me.

Hmm, that sounds really interesting. I can't believe I've never heard of it. Half-dragon? Are they siblings?

No. They are not related. They dod end up getting together in the end though , but that was pretty obvious because there is a prophecy saying that they would.

I wrote down the author's name and the series titles and gave it to my librarian. Hopefully she gets them in soon.

Lol, I'll see what I can do, but I'm a senior and she's not sure she'll be able to get them in this year. Although the place I plan to go for college has a Hastings....

Haven't read all of the second series yet, but wasn't as impressed anyways.

Did really like the first series though.

Lol at ghost post.

Eh? What do you mean 'ghost post'?

I really want to read these series, but I can't find them.

It took me a while to find them. You can probably request them at your local library. That is what I did, but I had to borrow the first one from a friend.

I think I posted earlier that I had given the list to my school librarian, but she's not sure she'll be able to get them in this year. And this year is my senior year. Oh, well. The college I plan on going to has a Barnes and Noble on campus, and the town it's in has a Hastings.

I'm innactive here, just come back now and then to ghost around, post in anything interesting, then leave.

Ah, now it makes sense.

Not to get off topic, but has anybody read the Pit Dragon Trilogy by Jane Yolen? Lol, 25yrs after the third book was published, she just came out with a fourth.

Jane Yolen did, I think.


*looks it up*.....5 min later....D*** this computer....


*hick accent* Yup, I were correct.

It's set way in the future on a different planet that has dragons. The people fight their dragons in places called pits. The main character is a kid named Jakkin and he raises a red dragon to fight. (Reds are the best fighters.) The dragons aren't like the dragons in Inheritance though... I dunno, it's good, but... Idk, read it and tell me what ya think.


Are there going to be any more of these DIOM books? Or are these 8 the only ones?

Lol, k. They're okay, but I did not like the way the second one ended...

*shuts mouth and throws away the key*

Yup, and I am so tempted to say more, but I absolutely refuse to.

*runs away*

I read the first two and they were pretty good.

book 8?!?!?! wow im behind

I am so jealous. The book money at my school's library is just about gone. Lol, my librarian knows this is my senior year so she's been buying all these books I want to read so I don't blow my money on them in college.

mine just got renuvated, so its taking a while to get things up and running again.

Woah. I don't even know the name of the fifth.

okay thanks. look forward to reading it.

same here. They were good though.

THEY WHAT?!?!?! C'mon, I didn't read it yet!

Well that sucks. I would give anything to be able to fly. Almost anything.

Its so not fair. They always do the opposite of what people think. What if for once, they do the unexpected and do what the people expect. They wont expect in, but they really like it, instead of having the hero(s) face somekind of downfall, degration, or humiliation, or just giving up something.

Pendragon? Heard of it. What's it about?

woah. That's awsome. I'll take a look at it. What's the first book called?

The Merchant of Death, or The Death Merchant... Something like that. I've read all of them but the last one, so no spoilers!!!:evil:

I hated the cliffhanger at the end of book 9. What Travelers are is actually quite interesting. It might take a few rereadings to understand though. Tell what you think of book 10 once you've read it.

ORDER OF SERIES:
1. The Merchant of Death
2. The Lost City of Farr
3. The Never War
4. The Reality Bug
5. Black Water
6. The Rivers of Zadaa
7. The Quillian Games
8. The Pilgrims of Rayne
9. Raven Rise
10. The Soldiers of Halla

Will do.

Wait a sec, who wrote the DoM series?

M'kay, just checking. I think my school library might have some books by him, but I don't think it's this series.

That's a lot of books. How many pages on average? I read over 134 books last year, and I want to beat my record, so im like speed reading, but I understand everything that I read. Its soooo cool.

That's not too bad. Thanks.

Pendragon's great, and while the early books are good, the last, oh, three or four are the best by far.

soz. well, im readaing book three right now... so this should be good.

The twist was unexpected, but it ended up being a good book.

please don't spoil it for me. lol

As to Dragons, the ending was good, but kinda annoying for the reason you said. The new series, from what I've read, was good, but convoluted and didn't have nearly as good of characters. Course, I've not read them since probably freshman year of highschool, so....



Don't entirely remember the ending of Pendragon, and what I think I remember I won't say, for spoilers sakes. Bobby was a great character, and very likeable, which is why the series did well, I think.

I read the first three pages of the pendragon series, book 1, and i was hooked right off the bat. its that good.

The same thing happened to me when I started reading them.

cool. im not alone in this world!!

The Pendragon books are good enough that I can still remembr where I was when I started reading the first one.

No more spoilers on DoM plz, lol, I still haven't found them.

It topok me a while to get through the first two because it was good, but it didn't really hold my attention like Eragon, or Pendragon did.

No offence, they were good books

Are they relatively new books, or what? (Talking about DoM.)

I don't know. I know that book 8 just came out.

Im still on book 3, lol

Have you read the second series?

How many series has she written?

Wow. That sounds really cool. I wanna check it out.

I read the first 2 or 3 Oracles books. They were good, but far more complicated and I liked the characters less, though there was some carry-over, if I remember correctly.

Not bad, its just when you read a book, then the sequel comes out a year later, and you have to re-read the previous one to understand the new one....not always a good thing. But back-to-back I'm sure they're better.

great. I hope the boosk are actually worth reading.

cool how is it so far?

Oh I love the first series! I haven't gotten the second one yet but I'm so going to! I thought the end was dumb, but I loved it other than that! And I'm Christian, been that way for a while, yet I still learned from the books. It was so awesome! The last was my favourite, as well as the second.

Nice. Man, I wish there were more of me so that I could read multiple series at once. lol

Oh, series two corrosponds to series one as being set BEFORE the Billy/Bonnie thing. ^?^ Just thought you'd like to know ^?^

hah, interesting... that's cool, but it probably won't make sense. Series two takes place befroe series one? *akward*

It annoys me when authors do prequels. Why not just start the series there if you're going to come back to it???

I know. it makes no sense. if the first series is with Bonnie and Billy, and the second one is before them, then it makes no sense because people got used to the main characters and then creating a series that they don't exist in, it won't sell well...

It's not that it doesn't sell well, it's just flipping confusing.

Idk, most book series I read don't have prequels, so that's something to be happy about. The one prequel that I did like was the prequel of Anne McCaffrey's Dragonriders of Pern.

Well a sequel that I would def recommend is the Percy Jackson spin-off series, The Heroes of Olympus. It's good, and the next book will actually center around Percy.

If it centers around Percy, then I'm all for it. If it's about someone else, I wouldn't give two hoots about it.

Lol, well read the first one (The Lost Hero), otherwise I can guarantee you'll be lost.

Uuuuuhhhhh.... We are so off topic, lol

I think I should go look up the DioM series now, while I'm not doing anything.
