✩🐉🔥Review:
A heart-pounding, epic fantasy that’s unputdownable.
“Dragon Cursed” follows Isola Thaz, a hero reborn, as she fights for her life to survive the Tribunal—a series of brutal tests designed to separate dragon hunters from the dragon cursed.
Kova’s cutthroat world is immensely intriguing. The Tribunal creates a tense, high-pressure environment that had me rooting for her rich cast of characters. I thoroughly enjoyed her twist on dragons with humans that have been cursed turning into them.
Isola is a compelling main character as a “hero reborn.” Ever since a harrowing dragon attack in her youth, she has had to navigate life under the vicar’s thumb as the city’s symbol of hope. At first, she fears who she is, but she begins to embrace her power as the veil is lifted on Vinguard’s origins. Isola’s character arc is a powerful one and
Isola and Lucan’s reluctant allies to lovers romance is paced perfectly. I love how their partnership pushes them to confront their past conflicts. The more they begin to trust each other, the harder it is to resist the pull between them. The tension and longing builds up nicely as the story progresses.
The ending is positively mind-blowing with all that comes to light! Kova crafts a killer cliffhanger that will leave readers desperate for the sequel.
