Random LONG-ASS post but idc because this has been my favorite book series since 3rd grade and I still HEAVILY fixate on it - for anyone interested (after I explain ofc) These books are by Tui T. Sutherland and are available in audiobook, paperback, hardcover, and Kindle I think.
Reasons you might enjoy WoF and features of the books!
-creative character designs
-full plot with little to no holes and if there are any, they’re probably explained in one of the MANY side books available.
-well-written characters that can be powerful without being a “Mary Sue” and having their own personalities
-each book follows a different protagonist, sometimes with the protagonist switching up mid-book
-a prologue and epilogue in each book
-15 main books released so far with more coming!!
-STUNNING cover art
-the main characters are dragons!!
-Written like those fanfics where you read them and you forget you’re reading a fanfic but it’s still not quite written like an ‘official’ book, y’know?
-descriptive writing so you don’t have to imagine stuff in weird vague ways
-LOTS OF LGBTQIA+ rep! Including but not limited to: mlm rep, wlw rep, non-binary/non-conforming rep - and the best part about it? It’s casually brought up! It’s normalized! Not even the villains or shitty parents show an OUNCE of homophobia or transphobia!
-There are humans in these books! And POC rep!
-women in leading/strong roles :3
-different continents!
-different tribes of dragons each sharing similar traits depending on their habitat!! NOT JUST RANDOMIZED DRAGONS EVERYWHERE ALL MIXED TOGETHER WHERE YOU DONT EVEN KNOW WHO CAN DO WHAT!!
-Each book features a map of the continent it’s set on, a description of the dragons of each tribe living on that continent (including looks, powers, diet, affiliation in war depending on the book, and current Queen) and a page for the prophecy the book fixates around (different for each arc)
-Three arcs, each solving a different conflict but STILL IN THE SAME PLOT!!
-creepy mind-control stuff!
-well-written villains
-lines that have made me CACKLE out loud multiple times
-TONS OF SIDE BOOKS WITH EXTRA LORE/INFO IN THEM!!
-and so much more! Read them for yourself to find out!!

It's a queer contemporary fantasy novel about a wizard-in-training named Rosemary who is cursed to be forgotten. In order to break the spell, he must regain the trust of his partner, Rowan—but in losing their memories of his existence, they've also forgotten that they are capable of using magic at all.
Reviewers have described it as "great character-driven fantasy," "thoughtful, artistic, contemplative," and "not at all reminiscent of H*rry P*tter" :)
Available now from Amazon and a wide variety of other retailers in both e-book and paperback form, & in e-book only on my website 🖤

Antagonists
P.I.E. - (non-earthlings can't understand why earthlings think the acronym is so funny) Peace Intergalactic Expansion; an intergalactic organization charged with keeping intergalactic peace, trying to take over and micromanage everything, control freaks, prim proper and pristine
The Black Holes - space pirates, call themselves the "rebellion against PIE", act like a wolf pack and don't care about anyone outside of it, polar opposite of PIE (and it's bad)
Plot
A bunch of morally gray bounty hunters and cowboys are thrown together on a mission. Sent by the intergalactic government organization, PIE, the crew is to retrieve a dangerous weapon. No one knows what it is, only that it is extremely powerful and the Black Holes- a gang of pirates who have "risen up in opposition of PIE"- also want it.
So what happens when the little crew decides that no one should get said weapon?
Extra Stuff
Specifics on Corie's cyborg parts: from the elbow down on her left arm, right eye (complete with small interface and display of her vitals, analytics on the area and targets, and aiming system), right leg from the knee down. Yes her cyborg arm has a laser gun attachment
their ship is called the Forty-five Utility Battle Starcrusier, aka the FU-BS (I think I'm funny sometimes)
there are thousands of different languages throughout the cosmos, all impossible to learn, but this is partially solved with intergalactic translators (provided by PIE), if you have one, you can understand any spoken language
Hades can mostly move objects with his mind and freeze or heat them, but he can also make himself fly
Nova's model was going to be a super android soldier for PIE, but after her diagnostic failed, her design was rejected and the project was abandoned, so no other androids of her model were made

do you like supernatural mysteries? are you a fan of gravity falls and twin peaks? is your favorite adventure zone campaign amnesty? are you a slut for queer found family and characters with trauma? if you answered yes to any of these questions, well then boy do i have the webcomic for you! Seemingly Dark is a small town supernatural mystery with oodles of queer and poc characters, and is perfect for those looking for something similar to taz amnesty or gravity falls.
