REACTOR MAG – “All the New Fantasy Books Arriving in May 2024”
PASTE MAGAZINE – “The Best New Fantasy Books of May 2024”
“Peter S Beagle is, as ever, a master. Like the dragons and dreams therein – gorgeous and vibrant and wistfully fantastic – he never neglects the sharp teeth that confirm a tale as absolutely real.”
–Travis Baldree, New York Times bestselling author of Legends and Lattes
“Beagle’s cozy novel embraces over-the-top fantasy tropes, and the effect is a tale that’s as hilarious as it is endearing. Evocative of Terry Pratchett, the writing grows beyond its charming aesthetic to deliver a deceptively serious narrative.”
– Library Journal
“A novel that is as much fun as its title suggests, but with the darker nuances that have always given Beagle’s fiction an unexpected gravitas, and a depth of character that – again a Beagle trademark – manages to turn archetypes into living, breathing figures.”
– Locus Magazine
“A riveting adventure…Beagle’s latest coming-of-age tale will charm readers.”
– Booklist
“A rip-roaring standalone fantasy…the resulting adventure offers surprises and humor aplenty alongside a hefty dose of classic dragon lore. Beagle’s fans will feel this was worth the wait.”
– Publishers Weekly
“Peter Beagle is an icon in the world of fantasy fiction…its charming characters and cozy high fantasy vibes are worth the wait.”

Reviews
"One of my favorite writers."

author of A Wrinkle in Time
