Wyverns versus 'True' Dragons

For context: I have only explicitly read Of Blood and Fire but I don't care about general spoilers.

I was watching a panel with Ryan Cahill, Robin Hobb, and Brandon Sanderson on YouTube. Ryan mentions that Christopher Paolini gives him playful jabs about not writing 'true' dragons.

I know Valerys is a wyvern, by definition, but is that true for every dragon mentioned in the series? Or is it a mix of 'true' dragons and wyverns?

Definitions I'm using just to make sure:
Dragons: 4 legs, 4 wings
Wyverns: 2 legs, 2 wings (conjoined front appendages with the wings)

Bookends and dynamic options

I really like Bookends and the power that it provides. I currently use the 2-reader-header-print-edition.lua and I really enjoy it. Per the Github:

```

It mimics the style used by many print novels:

The page numbers alternate between the top-left and top-right

The centered text at the top alternates between "chapter title" and "author - book title"

On the first page of a chapter, the page number is shown centered at the bottom of the page.

```

I know you can do dynamic things with Bookends - is there a way to get that technical with it, though?

Advanced Searches, Possibly with Templates

Hi!

I am trying to do a, maybe?, advanced search or even see if it’s possible. What I’m trying to do is see if there’s a way to search and display books on where my `Read` column is true and it’s a series. I have a bad habit of hopping around and with nearly 2k books in the library, it can get unruly. Is there a way to do so? With templates maybe?

In “pseudocode,” I’m trying to search:
‘Where read = true **and** series = true’ (or even by series_index:=1 and series = true, either work)
