Very randomly read Dragon's Bait by Vivian Vande Velde because there's a transforming dragon involved. It is such a short book too, or maybe that's just me being used to epic fanfic that can be however long writers want them to be. I kept wanting more details. The ending made me go, what, that's it? XD; (And then I went to search for fanfic and went ooo, look there is fanfic. Lots of people must have wanted more, haha).

After reading this, I can safely conclude that I have a thing for transforming dragons. Not just dragons as dragons, but dragons that can take on human form. XD;; I think this fascination might have started with Breath of Fire, and now I want to replay those games and actually finish them. I've only ever finished Breath of Fire IV. Or, instead of replaying, I could go and find the manga versions... I know BoF IV at least has a manga. It has become very obvious to me that Rykatu, my OC that is part of this LJ handle of mine, is totally inspired by Ryu.

Selendrile in Dragon's Bait was described as cat-like at one point, yessss. I so loved comparing Rykatu and cats, so it amused me to see this view is more common than I thought, dragons being cat-like.
