After significant advances in science we have discovered that there is one thing Dragons like more than breathing fire, eating ferrets or even gobbling down a sacrificial virgin women. They just can’t help but go after all the I’s in a word. So have them fighting for the I in Chris and make sure they have various appealing colours!

Oooh that’s a mess.
Still ‘A banquet of blood and thunder’ – who can complain?

I’m not sure if I would turn up at a banquet of blood and thunder. How does one eat thunder anyway?

Can you really eat thunder though? If i went to a banquet expecting a good feed and left having only some blood and thunder i’d be pretty pissed off. And i have to wonder just exactly how much thunder is in the book… is the ratio of blood to thunder 50:50? i think the blurb leaves too many questions unanswered
Its a pretty bad cover for being a new edition (republised), i think its just the brightness of the dragons. They might have got away with it if the colours were a bit more muted

haha SI beat me to it… damn you!

Sorry CSA!
And what is with the embossed font used for the book title. It kinda looks like it’s made out of some sort of biscuit you would dunk in your tea.

Blue Dragon: Aww…my tail! Again!
Purple Dragon: That’s it, no more group hugs. This happens everytime.
Yellow Dragon: But I love you guys.

This is the dragon tribute-group The Dragon Beatles. George-dragon, Paul-dragon and Ringo-dragon are singing backing harmonies to ‘Twist and Shout’. But oh no! Somebody has stolen their microphone!

You need to start taking your medication again.

That’s right, shush Adam, stop spilling the publishing world’s secrets! The Illuminati will be displeased if they should be told of such indiscretions!
Turns out that there’s a pan-edition word war theme here. The previous edition’s cover, ably realised by Lee Gibbons, has dragons fighting over the “S”.
By the following year, authors’ names weren’t as appealing to dragons: conflict raged over the entire title 😉

I don’t get it. Which one is Aslan?
October 13th, 2010 at 12:53 pm
Urgh. I feel terrible for noticing that their tails are in a bunch.
Bunch.

“A banquet of blood and thunder”… or you may have the vegetarian alternative:
“A feast of turnips and brimstone.”

A ‘rat king’ is a nest of rats whose tails have become entangled. So would this qualify as a ‘dragon king’?

Dragon 2: “Why I oughta…”
Dragon 3: “Why I oughta…”

Dragonmaster: Book Three – The Last Game of Twister

I can’t decide between the jokes
“An accurate depiction of 95% of the fanfic produced globally in an average year”
…or…
“Suddenly, E.L. James had an epiphany: ‘If I just change the names of all the dragon characters, and make them humans instead of dragons, I can turn my old fanfic into another mega-bestseller! Yes!! I rule!!'”

‘I leave you alone with the dragons for TEN MINUTES while I go and get a plate from the banquet of blood and thunder…and I come back…and all three of them have their tails in a knot? Some “Dragon Master” you are, can’t even keep them out of a tussle.’

The Very Definition Of A False Promise: When a title claims it’s the “LAST” or “FINAL” Battle, Fight, War, Conflict, etc.
That’s always the setup for another sequel. How many “Final Fantasy” have we been subjected to by now? I lost the count at 13.
December 17th, 2015 at 7:34 pm
Now all we need to do is tie them to the “I”, and then we’ll have us some captive dragons! The fact that groups of dragons will fight over letters is a little-known weakness.

@A. R. Yngve (#20) – current count is at XIV, with XV scheduled for a 2016 release….
