I still remember my ire at Dragons in the Water and The Young Unicorns
Same, actually! All the more so if you are coming off the Murry books which are casually full of time-traveling unicorns and cherubim and tiny mammoths. What gives.
We agreed that at least Laurence Yep does not pull this shit. If he names a book Dragon War, by God it will have dragons fighting in it. (And when it's Dragonwings or Dragon's Gate, the cultural grounding makes its technically metaphorical dragons not disappointing. As far as I have been ever able to tell, though it's not all that relevant to the historical plot, The Serpent's Children means it.)
