- Strong character development? No
- Loveable characters? No
- Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
- Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes
2.5
The idea was fun, but the characters just weren't enjoyable for me. Reading it felt like actors being over the top in a reality TV show

Interesting, and funny, with an unexpected twist
This is not the first time I’ve read this book, but I feel like it was brand new. I caught more details than I did the first time, and I adore the characters even more not. Aimi and Brand are so stubborn, but also loving, crazy, and hilarious. I laughed out loud multiple times, and loved the glimpses of coming characters. Once again, this authors excellent storylines and characters with depth have completely engrossed me in the story, and I’m excited to read more!

It's a bit weird to already have a book read for 2018, but I started this one last year (also feels weird) so here we are. I liked Aimi and Brand, and I liked Aimi's family and the Sept politics too. The action/suspense sequences were well done, and I was especially glad that I'll be adding Aimi's sisters' stories to my "to read" shelf.
Spoiler
Brand did not put on the collar as Theo has intended. That would have p***ed me off immensely. The rescue was pretty awesome too.inmyhumbleopinion's review

A fantastic start to a wonderful spin off. I wholeheartedly recommend reading Gator's Challenge (Bitten Point #4) before reading this so you understand better where Brandon is coming from. It isn’t necessary but it would add depth.
Brandon is an alligator shifter who has been experimented upon. He is now other. Aimi recognizes him as hers but she is going to have to convince Brandon he isn’t a monster he is so much more. Can the redneck gator and the uptown dragon make a go of it?
Becoming Dragon is a sweet, funny and sometimes serious story that will make you think, laugh and sigh in all the best ways. I can hardly wait for the next installment.

Becoming Dragon was a delightful tale, filled with humor, action, steam and more. The narration was well done, and I was so happy to have this to listen to on my commute to and from work.
Becoming Dragon is about... you guessed it - dragons! And it's by Eve Langlais, so I knew I was in for some good laughs. Plus steamy romance, and I also got a rather down to earth and doubting hero. Brandon had been experimented on, and with his DNA sliced, he was in a weird hybrid form that made him think of himself as a monster. Aimi, however, did not find him to be monstrous at all. Quite the opposite, which made for some humorous scenes.
Searching for his sister, kidnapped by his uncle Theo Parker - owner and scientist of Bit Tech - Brandon really didn't have time for Aimi. Even if it felt good to have someone look at him with admiration for once since he had been changed. Becoming Dragon included several dragon families, and they were fierce! Led by matriarchs, their society was different than what is usually depicted in fiction.
There was plenty of action in Becoming Dragon, with Brandon learning more about what he might become, fights mid-air, and scary powers, I was entertained from start to finish.
Brandon was almost broken psychologically due to both what had been done to him, and what Bit Tech had made him do. He needed to learn to love and respect himself again. And at the same time, he had to embrace his other self, who gave him dubious advice at best.
Aimi was awesome! Headstrong, with awesome powers and enough wit to outsmart even the most hardened villain.
The other characters will probably have their own stories in upcoming installments, and I can't wait to learn more about them all.
Chandry Skyye is an OK narrator, but not my favorite. Her pace is a little slow, and her range of different voices could be better. I will definitely continue with this series, though, because it made my commute fun.
So many feels once more, both Brandon's doubts and Aimi's positivity were felt through their dialogues. Their attraction was palpable, and I can't wait to read more about these dragons.

I really enjoyed this book! It was cheeky and fun while still having a fair amount of action. The dragons were cool (although there was SO much info on them it was overwhelming at times) and I can see this building up a really fun series. It didn't take that long to read, but it's not super short which I enjoyed. It also wasn't OVERLY silly like some of the previous series' books have felt. I really enjoyed both characters and I'm already super excited for her sister and his sister. Now I gotta wait.

I enjoyed this read. The fact that it felt a bit like a role reversal between the main leads really appealed to me. I really liked Aimi, her whole personality was just so much fun, arrogance and snobbery included. The way she and Brand interacted and developed their relationship was a lot of fun. I wasn’t a big fan of how things came together, especially with Sue-Ellen and Uncle Theo but we move.
