3.0

TBH you get what's on the tin: it's a cute, cozy read mainly about the proprietor of a café catering to the owners of baby dragons, like if a cat café was somewhere you brought your own cat, only the cats can also fly and breathe fire. It tries for some character development and emotional depth, takes a pass at social commentary, but it's clumsy at best, contrived and under-developed. Not on my re-read list, but a decent option for an afternoon in where you just want brain candy escapism.
