The Search For Synergy

Thanks to the author for giving me this book for free in an exchange for an honest review, and you're welcome too!
Well, I made a promise to myself to finish this one in December, and I did, on the last day of December!!!
It wasn't bad, but it just annoyed me so many times I couldn't give it more stars, unfortunately.
The idea of a boy who is actually a dragon is interesting. I read two books inspired by Arthurian legends and with dragons in a month, it's crazy! And they both were alike in some ways... and were weird, lol.
The story is about this guy Rome who apparently is a dragon from the Clan of Volcana and he bonds with this other guy Jules who is a descendant of knights... And they get connected with this die Jules has and get these powers so they can transform to dragon and knight respectively.
I just didn't seem to care much about Rome, Jules was more interesting, but the way he spoke... was cringe. I mean the way both of them called each other ‘brother' was cringe. I understand they have to save the world and all, but it doesn't really sink in. Like it info-dumps, a lot by the third or fourth chapter and I didn't understand much if not anything there, and then Rome just accepts being a dragon so fast, it feels unrealistic. I didn't get how little background on Rome's family and interest we have... Like is his family dragons too??? Why is he? And it lacked female characters, even just sides. It felt weird being all just guys, but I see in the sequel some girls are gonna be introduced too, so good I guess?!
Anyways, I don't want to end this in a bad light, as the book wasn't just bad, it was nice, too, just not my favorite, sorry. The idea is original, and I guess kids and tweens would really like this! The cover is pretty fine too. The world-building isn't bad either, and I guess the bromance is cool too! I am not sure if I want to read the sequel or not, maybe some months later, I'd try... but at the moment, no, I have other books in my mind!
If you're into MG dragon fantasy book series, read it, if not I'm not sure you'll enjoy it then...
