haku, king of all dragons
In a world in a distant universe similar to ours, dragons were the supreme rulers for millions of years. But one day, a supernova struck their planet, making it uninhabitable for hundreds of thousands of years and killing almost all life on its surface. When the catastrophe ended, the decimated dragons struggled to recover, while other races rose up and became the new rulers, hunting the surviving dragons and forcing them to retreat away from civilization. The dragons fell back into bestiality and violence, regressing further and further until they were little more than animals. Now, dragons are a species on the verge of extinction, and nothing would seem able to change their fate... or maybe not? Haku, one of the youngest member of a dying species that struggle to survive, refuses this. He decides it's not right to surrender to the rules of that difficult and terrible world into which he had the misfortune to be born, and he doesn't want his brothers and sisters to do it either. He believes that there must be something else, some other way to live without fear. So, let's follow the journey of Haku and his siblings, a journey that will take them across the world and beyond, against a fate that none of them is willing to accept.
I finally caught up to last chapters (ch. 445) and I have to say, this is the best fantasy book (that I've read) about Dragons in general and their development. Honestly Haku and his siblings have a distinguishing personalities, characters aren't static, they develop, move forward and sometimes a couple of steps backwards, they fight and forgive each others mistakes but never forget, they hurt and heal together, I can even say that Haku is selfish and selfless at the same time, like a real person, the fact that he changed from committing a war and genocide just for food to at least consider other peoples feelings sometimes even dough he doesn't understand his own most of the times. Overall even antagonists characters like the king or Carrion are good foils to Haku and written the way that is believable and invoke a real (rightful) anger. The world-building and power system is good, I just don't get the magic system. In conclusion This is a very good book about relationships and inter-species relationship.
