Destruction's Ascent

Dragon Ridden Chronicles, Book 3

By: T.A. White

Narrated by: Natasha Soudek

When the past rises, the world burns.

Newly conscripted into the Emperor's dragon corps, Tate Fisher is still trying to figure out all that her new position entails. Along with an elevation in status comes dangerous enemies. Enemies who would rather see the dragons fall into ruin than remain in their current place of power.

When a dragon goes missing, followed by a child close to her, Tate is forced to confront the hidden agendas of those in the highest seats of authority. Her search for the truth takes her deeper into the maze of tunnels that lie beneath the city. It's a place where secrets lurk and dangers abound.

There, she'll uncover a plot whose origins stretch all the way back to the beginning of this world-one that can only end in the destruction of everything she knows and loves. The key to saving her city lies in her uncertain past. If only she could remember what that was.

really like this story line

Author is talented and creative with characters it is easy to identify with. like the contrast between the old stodgy dragons and Tate

Boon was ok

The main character is child in a woman’s body she is a child like she blames, everyone around her 

One of my favorite authors.

This author is great at world building and creating characters you root for. Kick ass heroine with the right amount of empathy for others and great side characters. I loved what the author did with Willa and Pax and the direction their characters are going. There is a great underlining mystery of trying to figure out who Tate really is. And a very slight bump in the romance department, no sex. Narrator does a great job; her dry wit pulls of Tate perfectly.

If you enjoy this series, I recommend reading Ilona Andrews series, any would do as they are all great. Also, the other series by this author are equally as good.

Love it! Please write more!

I love the lead protagonist and her motley hoard. The world building is wonderful and the character development and relationships dynamics - you’ll fall in love and want to be part of Tate’s hoard, too.

Enjoyed mid point in series.

Some secrets revealed, a mystery to solve and more interaction with the dragon corps. This book sets the stage for the remainder of the series. I love this author and her creative world building. Her lead characters are unique and strong with a desire to protect. There is a developing romance which is not the main storyline. This is a good series so far. Looking forward to book 4. This is last book in audio as of today. Narration was good. Pacing good. I listened at 1.25x.
