Silk Fire by Zabé Ellor

Kore is the most wanted whore on Victory street, he is also a bastard son of War's Judge's husband, and he's trying to put anyone but his scheming, petty, evil father on the Judge's throne. Around the same time a ship comes floating out of the lost city and the same night of the celebration parade Kore goes with a client to some ruins and while he's there he has sex on their old dead god's alter and becomes a dragon and now everyone is out to get him.
The matriarchal structure of the world is an interesting concept, men are basically home bodies for the most part, they also get the unpleasant aspects of being the "weaker" sex, but the world building wasn't focused enough, even the buildings in this world don't physically make even with altered gravity as part of the equation. I think the fact that the world was so unfocused also pulled focus from the characters as you spend so much of the book trying to make the landscape make sense.
I received this ARC through NetGalley and Rebellion, Solaris
