Dragon's Kiss by E.A. Winters
4.0
*spoiler free*
I received an ebook ARC of Dragon’s Kiss by E. A. Winters in exchange for an honest review.
“Pehaps your job is death… but your inclination is life.”
WOW! I picked up this book because I’m a huge fantasy nerd, especially regarding anything involving assassins or dragons, and this story has both!
We start off by diving headfirst into the world of Semra and the children of the Mountain: children rescued from parents who abandoned them and raised under the all-knowing and wise dragon lord to rid the world of evil… or so they’re told. After a mission goes horribly wrong, Semra learns the truth, and sets off on a mission to save the rest of the child assassins and the kingdom before it’s too late.
I absolutely ADORED the witty banter and relationships developed between Semra and the cast of characters (especially Siler. He’s my favorite). The combat scenes were detailed, realistic, and visually cinematic. Although the details sometimes got a little muddied, I could picture the settings so clearly in my head, especially the final battle. There was a lot going on politically throughout the story, and I did struggle to follow with all the names at first, but by the last third of the book things started to come together. And, of course, no review would be complete without a shoutout to the lovely, playful, and terrifying Zezura! This dragon will steal your heart.
Overall, I give this 4/5 stars. Beautiful launching point for us to dive deeper into the world of the Blood and Flame Saga. I can’t wait to see where the rest of the series takes us!
