Forged from the Ashes by J. KearstonMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Dragons Are A Dying Breed
This is an alternate reality where most of the humans are dead after trying to kill all the female dragons for fear of the dragons strength. Only mated dragons come into their wings, so without a mate the male dragon is only a more robust and strong human. Female unmated dragons still are able to cast fire though.
As there are so few female dragons left, what few there are are in fierce demand, from those who want to force breed them, to those who want to use them as guinea pigs for research purposes, or for the less horrible, to mate them to get their full powers.
Ezra has been raised by her big brothers (triplets). She also has a much younger brother that she essentially is raising after the death of their parents. The brothers are mean, strong and sneaky. This is what has protected Ezra up until now. That and the town they live in is pretty peaceful. When three strange dragons come to town the fierce and determined Ezra finds out a few things about dragon biology that her brothers have kept hidden from her, things that are more likely to happen the closer she gets to her 25th birthday.
As secrets about the realities of being a dragon are revealed, the outside world starts to press on the lovely town of Hadeon, and Ezra needs to make decisions about her future mates.
This is an enjoyable book. The characters are fun and the world building is interesting, if not particularly convincing. There is plenty of action and I like that the sex scenes are actually believable. Whilst the characters were fun, I felt I didn’t connect emotionally with them in the way the author probably intended. I don’t know why, maybe it was just a slight off note in the tone of the writing, but that’s why it’s a 4 ⭐️ rather than a 5 ⭐️ read for me.
