okay so I accidentally finished this in 1ish sitting @.@ this would’ve been a phenomenal beach read, so i regret not saving it a little

this was… incredibly fun! it took me a few chapters to get used to the intentionally modern way of speaking, but then I was good. this is laugh out loud funny in a very Shrek way (if shrek had on-screen fucking). so much going on but things wrap up relatively nicely, and none of the plot threads take themselves too seriously. Lemming bites off exactly as much as she can chew

i was afraid the romance was gonna be red flaggy at first (or at least dark orange) bc yknow, demons. but it quickly showed itself to be something surprisingly responsible consent-wise for a book about getting your cakes smashed by a dragon demon. still a bit too much choking by a man you just met for me but that’s just preference lol. once yo was taking out her braids for her I was sold, the determined muff diving was the cherry on top. wonderful work 

if this gets a film adaptation, I want to see Gabby Sidibe as Cinnamon. thnx
