This was such a fun read! I wasn’t sure how I’d like the dragon character but the vibes and chemistry between Tahlia and Delilah were impeccable!  If you like grumpy/sunshine with a flirty bit of bratting in there, this is perfect!  I liked the lore drops in the background and it helped flesh out a few things I’d wondered about some of Lizzie Strong’s other books in the same universe. 

Definitely a quick read, I barely put it down since starting.  It was everything I was hoping it would be; playful, funny, and occasionally heartbreaking. I will say to please pay attention to the warning list on this one. Personally, I do not think it was gorey and the blood was very mild, but one of the fmcs was a kidnapping victim with flashbacks to (non sexual) torture and while it is set in a fantasy universe, it does hit hard. 

ALSO, I loved Calcifer’s (Delilah’s dad) entire character; his protective acceptance of Delilah, his deranged penchant for chaos, and his enthusiastic encouragement of their relationship was really refreshing to see!  There is a story line about his and Delilah’s relationship that I won’t spoil, but it was a unique way of showing a father/daughter relationship, especially with their background!

Overall, loved it! Pay attention to the trigger warnings, but if it sounds like your cup of tea, it’s a cozy, endearing book!
