Hearts Forged in Dragon Fire by Erica Hollis are a story of sweet romance between young girls, with a little bit of dragons adventure, thrilling action scenes and complicated family issues. For a dragon's book lover, this is a must read book.

I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
I am all about the Dragons and I love that this has a little bit of everything. Two lesbian teens falling for each other, family drama, morally grey characters and just so much more. Pre order this now if you can you won’t regret it.

Such a creative, wonderful story! I love the characters- they were easy to connect with. Very well written, I found the love story a little grating. It was hard to read at times, so that is my only negative. I think a younger audience would find those portions much more readable than I. I really enjoyed the new take on dragons - my favorite parts of the book. I would highly recommend.

Usually I don't expect so much from books about dragons,they're not my favorite mythical creature,but this book is a blast. It was very interesting the dinamic between Lotte and theses beings and the dinamic between her and the rest of the characters. Even tough long,this book has a a fast pace, what makes it easily to be read. Would totally recommend it !

I enjoyed the newer spin on dragons; while I know that there are surely other books where dragons eat gold, this is the first one I recall reading.
Lotte is a dragonspeaker, able to speak dragontongue as easily as her own native language, a rare gift that comes in handy for her living. Though sixteen and reading somewhat older, the tone of the book is still accessible and fast-paced enough for teens to enjoy.
There’s enough character to make the world feel more filled out— magical items are rare because they fade with time, no one knows the king of the land personally, other villages don’t much seem interested, the different types of dragons, and familial stories can just be…. well, stories.

I enjoyed the slow build of a relationship between Lotte and Maryse, though I was waiting for Lotte to slowly notice the novel’s twist. I also cared about the other characters: Scyler (nonbinary!), Danil, Juna, Vikker, and Anneke, who felt fleshed-out in their own right.

I will definitely be recommending this for an easy read!
