Review: I’m Afraid You’ve Got Dragons by Peter S. Beagle 

Are you looking for a dragon-filled adventure? I’m Afraid You’ve Got Dragons may very well be the book for you. With quirky characters, quest-like adventures, twists on common archetypes, and a bit of silliness, this story feels similar to Princess Bride or Hobbit style adventure. I enjoyed this read and devoured the book in about three days. 

I did find it reminded me a bit of The Paper Bag Princess by Robert Munch, but a lengthened and slightly more complicated version. The story does deal with princesses, dragons, and a prince, but also a dragon slayer and a wizard and friends. The theme of bravery is approached in several different ways and contrasted with heroism, so while a fun romp in a dragon infested medieval world, it touches on some topics in careful ways. 

Overall, I enjoyed this story and hope you do too. Thank you to Simon & Schuster and NetGalley for the opportunity to read this story. All opinions are my own.
