Fire to the Stars
In a kingdom cursed to turn people into dragons, two teens from opposite worlds, each with nothing left to lose, form an uneasy alliance. Told in dual perspectives, this sweeping debut follows their search for redemption and the slow-burning bond that could save them both.
Every month, the kingdom of Florent braces for the Ignition: a solar event that turns ordinary humans into vicious dragon shifters. And anyone can be a dragon's next victim.
Claire knows this all too well because the Ignition consumed her and her father, her town, and the life she thought she’d have. Now, she's scraping by on her wits as part of a sisterhood of thieves—lying, stealing, her heart locked tight—until she tracks down a disgraced dragon slayer who may be the one person who can give her back the life she once had.
Abel has been shunned by the prestigious Slayers Guild for conducting research that’s too...unorthodox to condone. But there’s no one Claire trusts more than a rulebreaker, and that research might be the one thing that could help her. So when Abel reveals he is hunting again, Claire tries to hire him under false pretenses. Abel, however, is reluctant to accept a job from a criminal, no matter how charming she is. And yet...he really needs the money.
Together, Claire and Abel will race through Florent and uncover dangerous secrets in their quests for forgiveness—and survival. But that knowledge may cost them the very thing they’ve grown desperate to protect: each other.

Did Not Finish
January 18, 202670% was as far as I made it before throwing in the towel.
This has to be the most boring book for this year (and the year is still young, so maybe more books will be surpassing the role of 'most boring'.
I kept waiting for tension, surprise, deeper emotions and backstories for the characters. I got none of that. You're reading what you're seeing on the page, a dragon hunter who is awful at using a sword and riding a horse, killed his brother but not before torturing him to find cure only to come up with none. The female lead is a daughter of a farmer who became a dragon and killed her father and destroyed her town hires him under guise for looking for dragon but the dragon is actually her.
How do people turn into dragons? Two brothers up in the sky got into a fight and one cursed any humans that become too greedy to become dragons. Which makes no sense because how can you destroy all of humanity's greed?
The romance is boring and somehow he ends up falling for her but they do nothing romantic and or have any sort of romantic feelings except letting her be a shoulder for her to 'oh woe is me' and they apparently have sex?
But the most irritating thing of all? This takes place either in France or France adjacent. The author makes the characters half-ass French. Why? I don't know. I wish that if you were going to use French in books make the characters speak it in full or don't and just indicate that the character is speaking a different language. In this book it's called 'Old Form' or something of that nature. So, is this an alt. universe earth?
There aren't any side characters, really. There is Lyle but he doesn't really show up enough for you to care, or care about his kidnapped mother. There is a threat of people in masks with blue cloaks, that can self heal, but they're also not there enough.
All I know is, dragons are in again and a pretty cover does not support the text inside.
Out of respect for the author, due to not finishing it I will not be rating this.

I read an early copy of this book and gosh was I blown away. Filled with quick-witted characters, gorgeous prose, and plot that makes you want to read just-one-more-chapter, this book is an absolute must read. While I typically stay away from dragon-related books, this is the book that made me reconsider my prior dislike of the genre.
Also, shout out to my favorite angsty boy Abel. He is perfection. He must be protected at all costs.

I received an Advanced Readers’ Copy of this book from NetGalley 7 months before release. But my real flex is that I heard the first emerging ideas for this novel over the phone about 6 years ago.
Fire to the Stars is exciting, thrilling, and endearing. The world is clearly much bigger than the story itself and lives past the final page. My only struggle was being totally not used to reading YA and having to resettle into that style, but FTTS is exactly the kind of book that teenage-Ellie would’ve be obsessed with: careful in its character construction but unbridled in its address of dark and delicate topics. I cannot wait to see this on the shelves.

I read an early version of this novel, and let me just say, FIRE TO THE STARS will absolutely steal your heart. Whether it is the complex, yet lovable, characters or the intricate worldbuilding or Morgan Watchorn's captivating prose, there is truly something for any and all readers to enjoy. I cannot begin to phrase how much I adore Morgan and FIRE TO THE STARS, so I'll stick with a simple—READ THIS BOOK!
January 30, 2026
Huge thanks to the Netgalley team, the Random House Children's Books | Knopf Books for Young Readers team, and the force of nature that is Morgan J. Watchorn for providing an ARC copy of this novel for me to review. I feel incredibly fortunate to leave my thoughts on this one.
Fire to the Stars is a book like no other, and I'm not saying that just to say it. With precise, compassionate prose, it combines the witty, romantic, monster-hunter banter of ND Stevenson's Nimona with the dark, scientific, morally gray edges of Hiromu Arakawa's Fullmetal Alchemist, Vol. 1 into a dynamic, fiery tornado that'll leave you breathless by the end of the last page.
In some senses, to call this book a novel would feel inaccurate. Rather, it is a ballad of Abel Estellio and Claire Belgard, of fire and ice, of suns and moon, of light and dark, of right and wrong. Cinematic in its epic scope while staying tremendously grounded in its humanity, Watchorn's debut pays tribute to what feels like Eastern anime and Western fiction contemporaries while also breaking the YA mold in its careful rendering of the lightest and darkest parts of us.
Also, if you can't tell by now, I want this novel to have a video game, a feature-length movie, and tinderfox merchandise because that is nothing less than what it deserves. It is astoundingly vivid in its vision and execution, and only a master storyteller could produce a work of this high caliber.
To put it more precisely, I believe that Watchorn's work will define and expand the YA genre for years to come, and I cannot wait to read more of her works in the future.

Review of advance copy received from Netgalley
This book has so much potential, and I wanted to love it- I did up until the last 15%. It's very dark but very well written, with an interesting worldbuilding system, a well-paced plot, instantly sympathetic main characters, and even some cute and cool animal sidekicks. I was invested not only in Claire and Abel's relationship, but in how the philosophical questions raised by the religious system would be answered within the story. There is so much buildup to what could be a cathartic, wonder-filled reveal... and then it sort of fizzles out. The big twist explanation is bogged down by overly technical details; it reads like the author is trying to write the wondrous and fantastical without ever having actually encountered actual divine truth and beauty. What consolation the characters get rests on them being chosen for qualities intrinsic to themselves; there is not any redemption so much as "if we make better choices now that makes up for everything we did before, and it means we're really good people inside now". Honestly, it reads a little bit like the author has decided to pick a bone with the Catholic church (making some valid points along the way) without an accurate understanding of why exactly certain things could have gone so wrong. The theme throughout the entire book seems to be getting at the question, "why does human suffering exist"- and the answers given are completely unsatisfactory, because they do not point to the only true Answer. So for me, the worldview in this book just didn't work and is definitely not enough to make the darkness of the story worth it.
Content:
Language- none
Romantic content- some steamy kisses, several fade-to-black scenes
Violence: lots of gore and death, mostly off-page dismemberment and beheading (both of humans and dragons), a fairly disturbing description of a young child being tortured

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for providing me with an ebook in exchange for an honest review!
4.5 out of 5 stars, rounded up
I have a soft spot for fantasy that involves dragons, especially if they’re a little bit different from what one would usually expect from dragons in fantasy. This story, with Ignition looming large and the threat of anyone you know becoming a frenzied dragon that day, is exactly what I look for.
I think that the author does a great job setting the characters up. Claire and Abel are very sympathetic (although I’d argue that once the contents of his research are revealed, Abel becomes a bit less sympathetic) and they have great chemistry both in terms of romance and in terms of a protagonist duo.
I loved the main plot, finding out why Ignition has been happening and why the Slayers Guild is so adamant that dragons must be killed as soon as possible. I didn’t feel like I guessed what was going on, not because the author didn’t allude to things well enough, but because the truth of what was happening was so far beyond what either of the POV characters ever suspected that of course they wouldn’t guess it. Of course they wouldn’t think that
My only complaint is that the contents of Abel’s research are disappointing. I feel like it was less research and more just him torturing his brother and going hmm, yes, interesting. It feels out of character for him, seeing as he’s clearly an empathetic person and initially it seems like it was a big, devastating decision for him to have had his brother die. For the reality to be that his brother simply faded and died because of the “research,” and for his notes and experiments to be so thoroughly heartless? It was a bit of a letdown.

Review of advance copy received from NetGalley
I was hooked on Fire to the stars from the start, I think the opposite personalities of the main characters was what had me at first then the story went into more details which intensified my curiosity. Despite Abel and Claire different personalities they share some similarities they try hard to hide. As hard as they both try to portray their feelings a certain way both MCs were able to scope out some truth behind the mask they both lived behind. The tension that formed through the story due to unraveling events made the whole book. This is one I’d gladly read again and again. P.s the cover was the reason I requested this book and now I’ll be having it as a trophy read due to how amazing the plot, tension and side characters were they made me fall completely in love with this story.
Abel reluctantly forms an alliance with Claire who seeks Abel’s services, he’s a dragon slayer and one that has recently got a bad reputation. Claire hides her true intentions but together they’ll form a strong bond that could benefit both.
Arc review. Thank you netgalley.

Thank you to NetGalley for this ARC!
I enjoyed every moment of this story. When I initially started, I thought it was going to be the beginning of a series, but everything wrapped up nicely by the end. It's refreshing to be able to sit through a whole story in what's basically one sitting.
The world building felt so unique. I love magic and dragons, so I was easily hooked by the premise. But the dragon curse? It was something I felt I hadn't really seen and there were so many layers, so many questions behind the reason for the curse. As reveals came, I started seeing the full circle. I love what the author did with the concept and the execution.
The characters were all enjoyable as well. I did feel the chemistry between our two main leads; their journey together and their developing feelings made sense. They had plenty of cute, wholesome moments that put a smile on my face. Plus Lucy's interruptions and favoritism made things even better!
This is one of the best books I've read so far this year. I'm looking forward to more of Watchorn's works in the future!

May 22, 2026i feel like the ya fantasy genre is really saturated with enemies to lovers/slow burn romances between main characters. lots of quippy banter (which sometimes feels inauthentic, like the author is trying to make the reader laugh/root for the main romance). so if you like that in a book, this book is definitely for you, if you want something different i would suggest reading the preview before buying (the dialogue between the two starts really soon). like why say something bitting/insulting, we know ur trying to be charming/you like each other. it seems pretty childish when the fantastical world puts so much adult pressure on them. like you go through strenuous/lengthy slayer’s training, your seeking revenge for your whole community, and other mature tasks, but you can’t be mature and be friendly/respectful to someone you are working with?
if you like “the souls of blackwood academy” series, “the rose bargain” series, and “the stolen heir” duology, then i would recommend this book.

Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for allowing me to read the arc! I enjoyed this book. The writing was great and the adventure was very interesting. I really liked the main character Claire. She was sooo much fun to read. I wish I could say the same for Abel but unfortunately his personality was just not all there. I also didn’t feel the chemistry between the two characters which is a bummer because some of the scenes between them could have been really cute if there was more emotion to it. I honestly thought Lucielle had more personality than Abel:/

Though I will say the premise of the book was what captured my interest and kept me entertained throughout the book. I also think the cover is really pretty. Overall the book was promising and I think readers that are getting into the fantasy genre will enjoy this book.

ARC received in exchange for an honest review.
This was such a fun fantasy read - full of adventure, banter, cute animal companions, and chemistry thick enough to claw through. I personally enjoyed that Watchorn chose French for the “Old Tongue” - it gave me a chance to brush up, and I was pleasantly surprised at how much I understood. Our heroes, Claire and Abel, are deeply flawed people charged with deconstructing the beliefs they grew up with before the system destroys the very people it claims to protect. Their stories are a great example of how humans prefer to ignore a threat until it shows up at their doorstep. Still, both Claire and Abel stand strong in the face of adversity. Claire masks her fear behind a flirtatious persona, while Abel buries his grief beneath his mission. Putting them together is a recipe for butted heads and growing romance (and my goodness, the ROMANCE. I was swooning). The third act brought the plot to a strong close, and I was happy with how the reveals all slotted into each other. If anything, now I want a prequel/sequel following Noctu and Diu. I’m sure they have stories to tell.

This book was cute. It has a sense of adventure and some great fight scenes while still being able to slow down for some moments of reflection and romance. While I do wish we got to spend a bit more time with the magic system, the lore, and the mystery at the heart of the novel, it’s a YA romantasy, so I’m not entirely surprised some of that was sacrificed for the romance. I also just have a dragon bias and wanted more dragons.
Watchorn does a great job of balancing the action, romance, and vulnerable moments in this book. I enjoyed how we were given moment to slow down and focus on the implications of Abel’s experiments and the guilt that the dragons carry with them following an Ignition.

Review of advance copy received from Netgalley
Fire to the Stars is a love story between a girl who turns into a dragon once a month and a boy who earns his living tracking down and killing the dragon shifters. Supposedly cursed because of greed, the dragons are seen as a plague upon the land, but Claire is kindhearted. The dragon slayers are the heroes, but Abel has been disgraced. The two meet up and join forces to find a cure for the curse. Along the way, they learn each other's secrets and fall in love. What they find at the end of their adventure turns the doctrine of the kingdom on its ears. The book is a mostly closed door romantasy with scenes of violence and peril.

Review of advance copy
I got a copy pre-published, and it was a great book. If you liked Dragon Cursed by Elise Kova, this should definitely be on your TBR list. It has dragons, friends-to-lovers, and romantasy elements. While the romancey part doesn't start till about halfway through the book, there is great character development and a lot of exciting things happen leading up to the romance. The book that I read said 12+, and there is nothing inappropriate, just a lot of blood and gore, and there is mention of severed body parts and animal/dragon cruelty. Overall, it was a great book, and I will definitely be on the lookout for other YA books by this author.

One of the best YA romantasies I've read, ever! The plot was fascinating and gripping, and I devoured each of the 10 million twists the second half threw at me 😭 also Lucy the tinderfox? She has my whole heart, I love her so much <3 I have highlighted basically every single mention of her antics and chaos, I need art of her so so bad
Also the MCs and their character growths and their romance were so >>>>>> even more so in the second half of the book! This book has one of the most satisfying character endings I've read, and I can't wait for people to read this book on its release!

I was lucky enough to read an early draft of this book, and if I fell in love with it then, I can only imagine how much more stunning it is now after revisions to make it sparkle. The premise hooked me from the very beginning: a dragon and a dragon slayer? Talk about enemies to lovers.
I have to admit I am not a "dragon person," but that was not even an obstacle while reading. The tension is high in every scene to suck any reader right in!

Finally, a fresh take on dragons that soars to new heights and steals your heart in the process! This is fantasy at its finest, with both prose and characters shining as bright as dragonfire.
I fell in love with Claire and Abel and their world, and I can't wait for readers to do the same!!
