Yuli is a young grandfather raising a teenage son.

Corey (fans of The Expanse will recognize him in this form). The first story is “Yuli” by Daniel Abraham who is notable in a myriad of forms as L.L.N Hanover, and James S.A. I will try not to spoil the stories otherwise. I don’t think it is a spoiler to talk about the ways in which the dragons manifest in these stories since that is the premise of the collection, there will be dragons. Which makes sense because they were all speaking to something I keep learning more about, and that is the devastation that colonization has brought, continues to bring, and if we don’t change course, will persist in bringing. Three stories really spoke to me, and in a way, I think they speak to each other. There’s so much to love in this book, it is really a treasure trove of dragon tales. It was in this introduction I learned that dragons often appear in human form, that they love treasure, that they are guardians of every imaginable element particularly water (surprising to me given their fire-breathing proclivities), that they are sleeping below our towns and villages. It’s a great place to start your dragon education. The introduction from Jonathan Strahan was very illuminating and provides a spoiler-free map for reading this collection. I would not say that I am any kind of expert now, but I have certainly learned a lot.

I definitely came to this collection a novice of dragon lore.
