Thank you to TBR and Beyond Tours for the eARC!

Dating and Dragons was one of my most anticipated YA reads for this year. I really enjoyed it, and it certainly has delivered on what I was hoping for from it as a great combination of coming of age and Dungeons and Dragons. Quinn is just trying to adjust to a new school, especially as someone moving mid-year, and she’s lucky in that she connects with a friend group right away thanks to her grandmother’s embarrassing antics. I particularly liked that we got to read a lot about the game play. I’ve only ever played DND once, so it was interesting to see how a more put together campaign could run, and the kinds of things that can happen in it. 

My only note is that at times, what Logan says felt like something that would be in an adult romance book. Are there teens out there that could be like that? Maybe? I don’t really know, but I had to do double takes to make sure it was him as himself and not him in his game character. I’m not sure if maybe this was originally designed as an adult novel and then reworked, but it’s just something that stood out to me.
