Summary:
For centuries, the dragons of Kalleen have ruled the skies. Blessed by the goddess of fire, those born of her power are destined to exist within two worlds, while fully belonging to neither.
As the youngest daughter of the dragon queen, Amelia has always been torn between her humanity and winged form. In meeting Stephen, she found a blossoming love that gave her hope of finding balance.
A dream destroyed when her sister, and future queen, sets her sights upon the same man.
Forced from her lover’s side, Amelia embraces a self-imposed exile, taking refuge in the northern mountains. In this new life of solitude, she banishes painful memories by retreating to her dragon form, sheltering the wounded girl within.
Yet it is an isolation that cannot last, as the new dragon queen’s cruelty bears down upon the kingdom, allowing an ancient enemy to rise. Drawn from her banishment by the pleas of friends, Amelia must choose. Will she embrace the destructive beast within? Or draw upon the frail humanity that lingers dimly in her soul, in a desperate attempt to help her people, and mend a broken heart?

My Review:
4 Stars
I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
I guess it has just been a lucky month for me where books are concerned.
Just like the with last book I read and reviewed I finished this book in TWO DAYS.
Embracing the Dragon was an intriguing read that pulled me in and wouldn't let go until I finished it. I have always been a sucker for anything involving dragons, so dragon sifters were a definite attention grabber. I found myself having to force myself to put my Kindle down so that I could get some work done or rest. I wanted to know what was happening and how it would all end so badly that I ended staying up until 3 in the morning to finish the rest of the book.
Amelia was an interesting character and I enjoyed getting to see a glimpse of the different parts of who she is. She has her weak moments but is strong when she needs to be. I look forward to watching her grow throughout the rest of the series. I am not entirely sure about how I feel about Conner just yet. He definitely cares for and supports Amelia but then there was that cliffhanger. Come on!!!! How could you do that to me? Now I need answers.
All in all, Embracing the Dragon was a great read and I will be keeping a lookout for book 2.
