miyawakiss 's review for:
The Baby Dragon Cafe
by A.T. Qureshi
DID NOT FINISH: 23%
I saw this in my local bookstore and immediately picked it up because the cover and title were so cute and the premise seemed adorable and I was looking forward to a great cosy read. Serves me right for judging a book by it's cover because this was so incredibly disappointing.
The writing is very chunky - infos and descriptions often came in chunks which did not make it very engaging. The characters were very flat and cringy. As much as I would absolutely love baby dragons too, I felt that the FMC's dragon obsession was overdone. The constant baby voice and nicknames (goglu, golu-molu, cutie pie, etc) were just too cringy. The MMC's character was not very consistent - he was supposed to be aloof and cold and dark but somehow had instalove for the FMC. By the 3rd meeting, they were already missing each other.
I just feel very disengaged from the characters, the world and the plot itself. I'm so incredibly sad because I was hoping to really love this but I really am not fond of the writing style and I don't think I'll come to like it within the next 100 pages so I'm not going to waste my time and just DNF this at 25%.
