How to Slay a Dragon: A Fantasy Hero's Guide to the Real Middle Ages by Cait Stevenson

3.0

It'd be a lie to say I didn't enjoy this book, laughing out loud through much of it. But there's a nagging self-satisfaction in the writing, and in an effort to be brief and snappy with her language, Stevenson often sacrifices clarity. She'll drop a historical nugget and you can't tell if it's there for context and she's leading up to something or if that's the whole bit; the outcome is inconsistent. But she is clever, if smug, and has clearly done her research in this little comedic tome.
