This novel was not for me, so I don't wanna rate it too low, but for me it's probably more like a 2.5 or a 2.

Look. This is 100% someone's jam. That person is not me.

This was... Honestly, I was definitely missing the mood option "weird" for this novel. It's weird. And at times, truly just in a really hilarious way. Some of the metaphors and descriptions are just the wildest you've ever heard. And I quote: 

My back arched as the first orgasm ripped through me like a mobster collecting a debt.

Just... what? Like... what? And that's not the only one, there are many more like it.

I dunno, this novel also like... talks about oppression and racism and doing the right thing, but sometimes the approach to all that is just the weirdest shit. Because the overall vibe of the novel is silly and sexy, and then at the same time you have this kinda... wild approach to equality and issues of discrimination and I just... I honestly cannot explain how wild it is. And also, how surprisingly like... bloody it was? Or maybe violent is the word I'm looking for. I dunno, man, just... yeah. 

And the plot was just... weird? And the inciting incident for the plot, the whole scene at the very first altar... Gods, they made zero sense. I have no idea what the author was going for, but so much logic was missing for me. I dunno, I guess I also really struggled to suspend my disbelief with this one, because of the writing style and just the... lack of logic for enough things. 

Gods, again, like... if you go in knowing that this book is just wildin', then you might like it. I just had different expectations. More character development, more followable plot, more... cozy fantasy. Less kinda nonsensical "we just destroyed an entire city and killed thousands of people and we're on the run, this is the perfect time to bang and then take a nap." - Like, what was that?

Long story short, it was funny for sure, wild, and just not quite my taste, some of the stuff made me uncomfortable. I was super excited for the full series, and now... Well, let's just say book 1 was enough for me.

Almost too fast paced. Everything happens super quickly. There could have been more build up to plot moments and within the relationship, but overall a funny light read that doesn’t take itself seriously.

All Cinnamon wanted was to relax, grow her spices, and get a cat. None of this happens when she gets a little too drunk and ends up saving a demon one night. The following adventure is full of smut and pure hilarity.

Great lighthearted book that doesn’t take itself seriously.  Full of steamy romance between a young woman who doesn’t want adventure named Cinnamon and a dragon Demon.
