I received an e-arc from @Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own.

**********************

Scales is a young adult novel about a teenage boy, Koji, who is the son of a fighter pilot. They move to New York and enroll in a private Catholic school. Koji finds a bracelet that attaches to him and allows him to transform into a dragon.

The novel reads more like a Middle Grade novel then a young adult novel, even though Koji is in high school. There were weird plot holes in the novel and other items that seemed like a big deal that turned out to not be important. There were also character inconsistencies. It caused a disconnect with the story. 

I have really enjoyed Conway’s writing in the past, I did not enjoy this book as much. It had a lot of potential, and overall it was interesting enough to read. It just felt like it could have been polished a bit more.
