I think I’m not very good at cozy books. There’s a lot of cute stuff in here, but Thorne also set up some fun political intrigue that didn’t get as much attention. Also, I realize there are more books coming in this series, but at first I found one of the character names really distracting - we’ve got “just a normal average guard” MC from the Evil Queen’s inner circle and her name is REYNA. It’s hinted in this book that another descendant of the same bloodline is required to overthrow the queen. I was a teenager in the 2000s okay? I can see a chosen one coming from a mile away.
All that to say - for me this wasn’t mind blowing, but it was cute, and if you’re into picking up some low-stakes, no stress fantasy and dragons and such, have at it!
(Also - I want to reread Becky Chambers’s Monk+ Robot books now, they’re cozy but more… something)
