Dragons are cool. But maybe they want to avoid that because of the GOT connection.
Pern would be great.
Something also great would be A Natural History of Dragons: A Memoir by Lady Trent.
Naomi Novik's Temeraire series would be good too for Dragons. Dragons in Napoleonic Europe. It would be awesome to see that on screen.
Lots of great material but Amazon won't risk it. It's a shame.
