This was delightful. A lot more shifter-y than I was expecting, but I dug it (turns out a lot of demons have a human form but turn into werewolves! Or dragons! Or manticores! While others have just a general form, like lamia. This hasn’t been the area of fantasy I’ve read much of before, so maybe the human-to-____ is more of a thing than I knew). Anyway. Quite spicy, pun intended. I absolutely love Cinnamon, I want her to narrate my life.
LOVE the false goddess is actually a lich premise! It’s simple but turns everything you think you know on your head, plus it answers so many questions that you would likely have in the back of your head as a resident of this world but would have quashed over time.
Looking forward to reading the others in this series - especially intrigued that one has a protagonist named Cherry??

This one DEFINITELY has dragons!

🫢🫣😳🥵😅

I was drawn into this one by my current interest in D&D. I enjoyed the humor and the occasional anachronism. I can definitely relate to Cinnamon's complete lack of interest in adventure, but I'm glad she got dragged into it so I could live vicariously through her 😆

This could have been a 4 star read for me but I felt that maybe some editing for vocabulary could have helped. Some words were repeated from one sentence to another or even within the same sentence, which isn't a big deal but kinda breaks the immersion.

I also felt the story could have used a few more female/feminine characters. The ones who were included were great though.
