I am not normally a romance reader, but decided to give this book a chance purely based on my love of dragons as a concept. I kept seeing this book everywhere, so I ended up buying it. It felt like quite a cosy read, quite predictable but I liked the idea of essentially a cat cafe, but dragons. However, it felt very repetitive, both in the story line but in the fact that the same words and phrases were repeated throughout. It sometimes felt as though I were reading the same sections over and over again! The writing style does leave a lot to be desired and is quite poor, and doesn't actually seem to have been proofread. I love the ideas that the story introduces, but it could have been written so, so much better!

Despite this, I am looking forward to the two upcoming books teased at the end of the story - The Baby Dragon Bakery and The Baby Dragon Bookshop. I'll keep my fingers crossed for them.

HOLY SHIT

I started this book shortly after finishing the first one. It’s a decent read, especially if you enjoy the Dungeons & Dragons universe, and it’s nice to see Viv return as the main character. However, if you're hoping for the same cosy, feel-good vibes as the first book, you might be disappointed.

While it's clear that Travis Baldree put a lot of love into this story, it didn’t resonate with me in the same way. I found myself more passively following along than being truly engaged. Perhaps a new main character might have brought a fresh spark.

I'm glad I read it, but it's not one I see myself returning to.

I listened to this as an audiobook, and whilst the narrator - who was also the author - gave depth to the story with their expressive reading, I do feel like it's better to indulge in the book by physically reading it as sometimes the gruff reading voice was distracting and sometimes unclear.

The story itself was quite easy-going and light-hearted, based on the main character, Viv, building and opening the town of Thune's first Coffee Shop. Viv is likable, an orc barbarian who seeks something different after a 'retirement' as such, and the other characters are also quite quirky and lovable.

I would recommend this as a good, easy-going read to anyone who enjoys the Dungeons and Dragons universe and wants a cosy read. I'd be keen to read - or listen to - more of Travis Baldree's works.
