Talk:The Erth Dragons: The Wearle/@comment-72.47.160.7-20201010022210

I've read the first book.

It's a cross between Eragon, and The Dragonriders of Pern, more or less. I was impressed with the way the dragons are discribe in the book, as well as some aspects of their biology. How the females give birth though Parthenogenesis and the young inheite their father's DNA by the act of him bringing them up. There seem to be no intercourse involved. But what ultimitlly broke the book series for me. Was the sexism. The female dragons are relegated to being nothing more then breeder. Sent to Erth for noting more then to breed. There are no female fighters, mappers, or leaders. The only time a female can have power or authority is after she's breed. And only one female is alound to do that at a time. None of the females are acknowledged or recognised for anything other then a working uterus, not for their skill or intellect, nothing. There is even dialog were a male dragon is telling a female that her only purpose is to breed and care for young!

This book series would have been decent if it wasn't for the sexism in it.
