What Is The Reading Order Of The Kidnapped Dragon Novel Series?

Just realized this Korean fantasy series has extra side stories and special episodes, so the chronology has me a bit lost. Where does the main story of ‘The Kidnapped Dragon’ actually begin and end?

What's interesting is how the reading order affects your view of the dragon. In Book 1, the dragon is an enigmatic, powerful figure seen through the kidnapper's eyes. Book 2 shifts perspective more to the dragon. Reading them in order gives you that gradual unveiling of the dragon's true nature and agency. It's a brilliant character reveal that requires the sequence to work.

So yes, order matters immensely for character development.

I read a recap of the first novel because I have a hard time with its particular narrative style (very internal monologue-heavy). Then I read the second novel in full and loved it. I eventually went back and finished the first one. For some readers, starting with the more action-oriented sequel can provide the motivation to tackle the slower, denser first book. Unorthodox, but it worked for me.

Don't forget about the short prequel story, 'Before the Chain', published in an anthology. It's about the dragon's life before the events of the first novel. Most people read it after finishing both main books, but you could read it first for dramatic irony. I read it last and found it added a layer of melancholy. There's no wrong place for it, but definitely after the first book at minimum.

It's not mandatory, but it's a gorgeous little piece.

The beauty of the series is how the first book's limited perspective opens up in the second. You read order to experience that revelation. If you read the sequel first, you'd spoil the mysterious, confined atmosphere that makes the initial story so gripping. Part of the tension is not knowing the wider world, which the protagonist also doesn't know.

So, order isn't just about plot; it's about preserving narrative perspective.

Audiobook listener here! The order is the same, but availability is tricky. The first novel has a full, fantastic fan-made audiobook on YouTube. The sequel only has a few chapters done. So, you might have to switch to reading text for 'Blue Flame'. The voice actor for the dragon in the first audiobook sets such a high bar; it's worth it, even if you have to change mediums later.

I wish more series had clear numbering on the cover. It solves 90% of these problems. 'Kidnapped Dragons' does it right on the later printings. Volume number, small but clear, on the spine.

I can confidently guide you through the reading order for some of the most popular series. For 'The Inheritance Cycle' by Christopher Paolini, start with 'Eragon', followed by 'Eldest', 'Brisingr', and conclude with 'Inheritance'. This series is a fantastic introduction to dragon lore with rich world-building and character development. If you're into more mature themes, 'A Song of Ice and Fire' by George R.R. Martin is a must. Begin with 'A Game of Thrones', then 'A Clash of Kings', 'A Storm of Swords', 'A Feast for Crows', and finally 'A Dance with Dragons'. The dragons here are more symbolic but play a crucial role in the narrative. For a lighter take, 'Temeraire' by Naomi Novik starts with 'His Majesty's Dragon' and follows a unique bond between a dragon and its captain during the Napoleonic Wars.
