Reviews with content warning for Fatphobia - That Time I Got Drunk and Saved a Demon: Mead Mishaps 1

This book was a humorous take on the usual high-fantasy quest-style story with a few steamy scenes. I loved Cinnamon's snark and Fallon's blend of good humor and well-intended violence. I can't wait to pick up the sequel!

Not my type of book. It was recommended as being similar to The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches - but it actually has nothing in common with that book, so I probably went in with the wrong expectations.
The plot was alright, the characters were kinda funny and charming - at times - and some banter between the main couple was fun.
But god, the romance. It was... yeah. Definitely not my cup of tea.

Very insta-lovey. Not to mention this weird talking about "ownership" and "I'm going to make you love me" and other creepy things. Really, Fallon was extremely overprotective, pushy and outright creepy at times, something that too many "romance" novels try to sell as cute and lovey-dovey but also that raises huge red flags if you ever encounter someone like this in real life.
Also those stupid "pranks" he kept playing on her, really felt like unnecessary power moves that just served to increase the gap between them
At least he kinda waited for her consent... even if it did feel a little forced (had she not been permanently horny this would have given even creepier vibes, but... he couldn't have known that. Kinda 50 Shades vibes with that one...)

So... without the weird romance this might have been a 3, but really, if I think about DNFing it in the middle it wasn't worth my time I guess.
Also, multiple uses of the phrase "females" to refer to women (while using "men" in the same sentence with no problem). Blegh.

I absolutely loved this! This is the type of cozy fantasy vibes that I crave from books. Now I will admit there was more gore in it than I was expecting... but it was laugh out loud funny literally from the beginning to the end. The sexy scenes were absolutely delicious and although I knew after reading ‘Two Scoops of Hellfire’ that this was gonna be a good time it still managed to surprise me with how much I loved it. 100 stars.

Reading this book made for a fun afternoon. The writing style feels so casual, with funny inner dialogue from the protagonist. This book does remind me of lighthearted fanfiction. The plot moves along fast, with many of the main struggles happening without much resistance, and what ultimately kept me reading were the characters and their interactions.

It’s a funny romance book that doesn’t take itself too seriously, but I liked it.

Please it's so good. It's a super quick read and so many amazing tropes, from enemies to lovers, forced proximity, kill anyone who touches her, and so much more! I actually cried when I finished it. It's definitely on my to buy list now. Finished in a day and absolutely looking at more from this author.
