This book is completely absurd. I had to be in the mood for things like sassy unicorns who shed glitter when angry (spoiler: Gary the unicorn is *not* the character awarded the title "God of Sass") and phrases like "heart boner"... but when I WAS, I enjoyed it immensely. And I laughed my ass off.
If you're looking for a M/M romance with wizards, dragons, and really really terrible jokes - here you go. If plot is really important to you, or careful fantasy worldbuilding... tread carefully.

5 OMFG Stars!!

What the hell was that??? Seriously???

There really isn’t much to say since it's already been said.

Do you want to laugh? Do you want to have fun? Do you want grand adventure and swoony romance, all the while having the time of your life?

This was a mile a minute of snark, banter, and glee, as it delivered so much on all the things I love in a fantasy romantic comedy; things I didn’t even know I wanted or needed. Every character - main and supporting, small and large - brought their own very special crazy that only exponentially increased the enjoyment factor. (I'm definitely a Tiggy girl!) Though this obviously doesn’t take itself too seriously, it still has plenty of heart - there’s definitely no shortage on the feels.

I had my doubts (yeah, I know I shouldn’t’ve) but the genius here is truly impressive. I’ve never been so thoroughly entertained!!

I entered this book with some reserve - please not another series- but really enjoyed the banter. It got to be a bit much by the end of the book but their personalities really shine. Great story, it just didn't need to wait to the wire to get resolved (IMHO).

This book is an unhinged, silly, no impulse control, queer fever dream and I had the best time reading it. 
I’m scarred for life and charmed beyond belief.
