Destruction's Ascent

Dragon Ridden Chronicles, Book 3

De: T.A. White

Narrado por: 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 

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.

So tired of Ryu

Why is Tate attracted to Ryu (beyond the physical)? Why does she trust him at all? How did Ryu become so attached to Tate from the get-go? Why is Tate so okay with Ryu casually touching and physically manipulating her? Why is everyone so okay with Ryu having any sort of authority over Tate given his obvious obsession?


This relationship makes no sense and has the same dynamics as T.A. White's Aileen Travers, a relationship I also detest.


Like Aileen Travers, I'm also tired of Tate's insistence on secrets and keeping information to herself for the sake of plot development.


All that being said, I enjoyed the story and, aside from the narrator's overuse of whispering, enjoyed the performance.

Story weaver and the mystery continues

In this story it was hard to put down, the twists and turns are even more fantastic. Your ease of what everyday life along with the mysterious past with surprises at every turn is amazing to read, and if you had not been addicted to the first book, you will be now! Thank you for this mysterious plant!
