I've read a lot of the authors you mention.
Anne McCaffrey introduced me to "good" dragons, and it took me decades to get over the awe of her and write dragon tales of my own.
I love Valdemar as a setting, and Black Gryphon is a masterpiece. (The other gryphon books less so.)
But can we look at contemporary authors, too?
I love Lindsay Buroker for her snark (and her dragons). She does great steampunk and urban fantasy.
Well... and I have a handful of books, too. Pretty please?

@Firlefanz@writing.exchange @GeePawHill@mastodon.social Samantha Shannon's "Priory of the Orange Tree" trilogy (which is *awesome*) has both good and bad dragons, and a very cool magic system quite unlike anything I'd seen elsewhere. Lovely books, beautiful to read.
