solenophage 's review for:
The Baby Dragon Café
by A.T. Qureshi
The stakes were non-existent, and there was very little to the plot. Any tension between the main characters— even things that could have a major impact on them or their relationship— is casually brushed away within pages of being introduced. The romance is slow-burn, but not in the sense that they gradually fall in love; it’s insta-love that is stalled out by the childish insistence “there’s no way these obvious signs they like me means they like me,” and Saphira’s refusal to make a move even when she knows Aiden returns her feelings.
The fantasy worldbuilding consists of swapping dogs for dragons and giving them prestige value to the aristocracy. There’s nothing interesting to the dragons themselves or the world around them.
The writing style was very simplistic and had a tendency to over-elaborate on basic thoughts. I also noticed the repetition of the same idea or action a few sentences apart multiple times, although I am reading from an ARC, so I don’t know if those will remain in the finished book.
