Scales of Ash & Smoke by Emily Schneider

4.0

"Hurt people only hurt more people."

A fun read to be sure. It took a minute for me to warm up to this book and I'm going to blame that on the audio reader--wasn't a fan of the voice. I'm glad I pushed through because the characters grew on me. Tarrin and Kaida grew on me over time and the push-pull of their romantic tension was fun to watch play out. I liked Kaida's spunk and her snark with Tarrin was endearing. Also, they're dragons and dragons are ALWAYS cool. It utilized a lot of cliches, but i do love a well done cliche so not a negative for me. An easy read and a good time for the regular YA fantasy reader.
