(this review has some spoilers, so read at ur own discretion)my main problem is with Elliya, she was wayy too inconsiderate and expected him to forgive and move past the fact she forced their bonding. not to mention she naïvely went into it thinking he’d automatically love and devote himself to her when she didnt even ASK if he wanted to be with her.she basically did the very thing she claimed to hate, she claimed him without his consent and used the fact he was in rut because of the red comet as his consent to spending forever with her. i get the whole point was for her to be naïve about this to cause conflict. but my issue really started when she expectex him to continue to make sacrifices for her when she never once done the same for him. she never considered living in his home and bringing life there.he wasn’t insulting her when he was insulting her people, she merely took it that way then went off into the forest unaware of her surroundings because she was to busy overthinking and making everything about her instead of taking a step back go consider that maybe she should be considerate about his situation instead of mainly making everything about her and what she eants and how she feels. like throughout the whole book, he was the only one making the sacrifices, the only one stepping out his comfort zone for HER.then she has the audacity to call him a spoiled male and compare him to Dian. that REALLY made me wanna put the book down and never pick it up.other than that, it was pretty good. granit i hate how they spent most of the time having sex or arguing because Elliya expects him to change and work around her while she doesnt return the same courtesies.

To Tame a Dragon is a book in a compilation series by a number of authors about a dystopian futuristic world where humans are a fading species and dragons roam the wilds. Each book is entirely standalone; they just happen on the same world with a handy map and everything! Some are light and fun reads, while others are serious and dark. This one is closer to the latter, as is common of Tiffany Roberts books.Elliya is a huntress for a tribe of humans who is about to get forced into a marriage with their only tribe male of age (there are so few males born to humans that every male has MANY wives in an attempt to continue the species) when the red star appears and gives her the tiniest of chances at a different fate. Their legends say that it's possible to bond with a dragon and have a mate all to herself, so she decides to find one at all costs rather than be another wife. She finds Falthyris and gets a whole basket-load of the unexpected to go with.Falthyris is an angry, sad dragon who has spent millennia watching the world pass him by only growing angrier and more depressed as time wears on. That red star is a comet that happens to ramp up dragon mating instincts and he has spent every occurrence of it fighting for his sanity. This round, he fails. Unlike Elliya, he knows what mating with her means for him, and is NOT happy. I wouldn't be either, if someone intentionally made such a huge choice like that about me without knowing the consequences. There was no forcing in this story, before you worry, just a not quite in his right mind dragon and a human who took advantage of that without knowing all the details.The two of them have a heck of an uphill battle since he hates humans and the fact that one essentially caged him, and she wants to take him back to her village to live with her people. He is not caged; they both are. She can't force him to come with her, but he CAN force her to stay. It's a power struggle to be sure. It's also growth and healing and a new beginning when all is said and done. Though their beginning was not ideal, they find their happiness in the end.If you like your fantasy with dragons, slightly crazy huntresses, lots of steam, some battles, a good dose of angst, and happily ever after, this is something you should give a go. As usual, the epilogue that Tiffany Roberts puts in their books is the best.
