By the Horns by Jemma Croft
5.0
First of all, any book with a map of the fantasyland it inhabits is an instant selling point to me. But I’ll be honest, the last one I read was disappointing, so I was especially excited when I immediately fell in love with this universe.
Joey and Taurin are both sweet, adorable, insanely giant hot messes, and I loved that they didn’t really fix themselves over the course of this book. Like it was okay for them to still be works in progress in other parts of their lives.
It’s also a wonderful introduction to Taurin’s flatmates who will populate the rest of the series and I love them all. And this world of monsters and humans interacting was well-fleshed out and easy to comprehend without bogging us down with backstory. (I love Darren & Todd though.) My one minor complaint is the generalization that all dragons are assholes, just cause meh to generalizations. I hope they all come across a decent dragon later in the series.
