Dragon's Kiss by E.A. Winters
2.0
First, thank you to the author for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
I liked the premise of this book (somewhat of an Eragon x Divergent mix) and enjoyed the characters attempting to right wrongs they'd committed while blind to the truth. Semra is a very strong-willed character, and I love books about dragons.
However, I struggled to finish it. Even though the main characters are 17-19, it reads very much like middle-grade with very direct dialogue, pretty simplistic characters that were either good or bad, and a lot of internal monologuing the main character to basically spell out the plot twists to readers. Dialogue dragged down a lot of action, witty lines didn't really hit, and the characters blurred together.
It is well written, just didn't excite me.
