Top ten dragons in fiction

Julie Kagawa is the bestselling author of the Iron Fey series, the Blood of Eden series and the TALON series. One of her top ten dragons in fiction, as shared at the Guardian:

Drogon, Rhaegal, and Viserion from Game of Thrones series by George RR Martin

Daenery Targaryon is one of two of my favourite female leads in Game of Thrones (the other being Arya Stark), and not just because of her dragons. She is strong, determined and powerful woman in a world dominated by men. She has grown up through the books, and has had to make some truly heartbreaking decisions, but she stands tall and carries on. Her three dragons aren’t the only cool thing about her, but let’s face it, they are extremely badass.
