Hilarious. By no means is it supposed to be taken seriously and it never pretends to be; Dragon Princess has lovable characters, a wild D&D-esque plot and hilarious dialogue. But I was cackling the entire time and loved every moment.
Some might feel the plot is a bit iffy, and I get that, but the author handles it was grace. When the main character Frank, is swapped into the princess’ Lucille’s body, he is confused and respectful. Not obsessive or creepy about the whole thing, mostly just annoyed and motivated to set it right.
Despite it not taking itself seriously, and not taking on heavy content, Dragon Princess was a book I was invested in. I fell in love with the characters, they fit easily into archetypes at first, but become well rounded and individuals as the story goes along. And the side characters never cease to baffle, frustrate and amuse me.
(CW: Threat of assault)
That being said a good portion of the first half of the book is Frank being nervous about every man he encounters while in a female form. Some of it ends up being founded in reality, but it is not explicit and he is never actually hurt. If you’re very sensitive to this, I would proceed with caution. But if you’re like me, uncomfortable but not triggered by that sort of content, you’ll be okay.
It is not supposed to be taken so seriously, and it does a fantastic job. It was a comfy fantasy read, easy before bed and never too emotionally heavy.
If you need a funny, pick me up, comfy fantasy, I would whole heartedly recommend Dragon Princess.
I’ve already gotten the next one, Dragon Thief and can’t wait to start. 😊
