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.”
