The Baby Dragon Cafe book review

 

Cosy fantasy and romantasy has been a genre that I have been interested in reading for a while so when I heard about this book I knew it was a great book to try it with. 


The Baby Dragon Cafe was a cosy and cute romantasy book that I found myself lost in and enjoyed reading.
We follow Saphira who owns a cafe open to baby dragons but what she wasn’t expecting when she initially opened was for her to have to replace so much furniture after it being burnt which leads to her being unable to cover her costs. And Aiden who is a gardener whose mischievous baby dragon is causing him disruption at work so he decides to ask Saphira to help him train his dragon and pay her enough to cover the cafe’s costs. They both hold the answers to the others problems but also know they are the others complete opposites. 


It took me a bit of time to be hooked by the story but once I was heavily invested in the story I just wanted to keep reading and just spend time with these characters. 


I found these characters to be ones who I wanted to learn more about and enjoyed spending time with. Saphira was a character who felt both understandable and relatable, she created such a cosy environment and I felt like that bled into her character. I also really liked seeing her relationships with the other characters because I felt like that gave me a wider picture of who else lived in this area. Aiden was a really interesting love interest and character as a whole. I could relate to him quite a lot and I liked seeing how he had been shaped as a person from the family he came from and his life experiences. By having two characters from very different backgrounds that are viewed differently by those in the world it was really interesting to see how that impacted their views and how they then tackled things in their lives and it was a contrast that I liked seeing and felt added to the world building. 


I absolutely loved the dragon aspect of the story. I found them to be really interesting, enjoyed learning more about them and oftentimes they made me laugh or just added some fun which I always love. 


Saphira’s cafe was such a cosy environment that I loved spending time in. It gave the entire story a super cosy feel which I was looking for as I dip my toe into cosy fantasy. That being said I would have liked it if there was more world building because I do feel like I have been left with some questions surrounding the world that I hope are answered in future books. However it didn’t ruin my reading experience and I almost expected it going into the story. 


Overall this was a super cosy romantasy book that I had a great time with. I would definitely recommend it and look forward to reading the sequels when they are released over the next year. I think I am most excited about the bookshop one. 


Thank you to Netgalley and Avon Books for a free e-arc in exchange for an honest review.

The Christmas Book Club book review

  I read a Sarah Morgan Christmas book during Advent last year and as soon as I heard about this book I knew I had to read it and the timings for it worked out perfectly for me to read about 15 pages a day during December until Christmas Eve when I finished it. This isn’t a romance book as such but it still has all the feels that the Christmas romance books do. The story follows four different women and has their POVs throughout, Hattie owns the inn, and Anna, Erica and Claudia meet up every year for a book club holiday. There is such a cosy feel in this book and I just loved reading it. The friendship between Anna, Erica and Claudia is so strong and I’d love to have a friendship like that, they are there for each other no matter what and each brings something different to the table. They are all going through something during the book and need each other’s support and that support really is perfect. Also by the end of the book, they have all grown as people especially when faced w...

My Kind of Trouble book review

  I found myself enjoying this read however the more I think about the more that I'm sure that there were things I think could have worked better for me and I find a 3/3.5 star rating is the right place to sit with my thoughts.  I really enjoyed reading about the characters and seeing what they were going to do along with watching their romance develop as the story went on. I don't think I've really read anything like this before in a really positive way and there were so many scenes I had a great time reading but there were also parts that I wasn't so taken by and definitely wished had been done differently, and found to be sat in the middle of two different directions I would potentially have enjoyed more.  I thought the con part would be good fun but in many ways I found that it and the romance were competing for page space with neither really winning. The parts of the con that we saw definitely weren't the parts that interested me and I would have either liked a...

The Dolls House at Wifell Farm book review

  This is such a nostalgic, cute read that I couldn't put down and loved flying through. It reminded me of so many books and films I loved growing up and it is one I will definitely be gifting to young girls I know that can love it in the way I loved Rainbow Magic growing up.  The Dolls House at Winfell Farm follows Laura’s dolls after she moves away to university and the dolls get moved to the attic, where they meet one of Laura’s other old toys and have to learn the importance of friendship, working together and standing up for what they believe is important.  While this is written for a certain audience of children around the age of 7 I think that it can be read and enjoyed by those of all ages that enjoy a good story and want to be taken back to the magic of their childhood.  I was hooked from early on wanting to know where Dani would take everything and how it would all end. I grew to really love the dolls and all of their different characters and personalities,...
