The Dragon Business

I won a copy of this book from Goodreads.

This was amusing, as it was meant to be. It is almost wholly satire, after all. It's witty and well-written. I generally really enjoyed it. But there came a point when the joke just kind of got stale and all the anachronisms (which are purposeful) started to grate. But if you're looking for a laugh that pokes fun at fairy tales, pretty pretty princesses and knights in shining armor, look no further.

As an odd aside: I take issue with this sentence in the description: But with her father sending a crew of do-gooder knights to find her, the dragon business just got cutthroat. It simply doesn't happen in the book. Go figure.

I feel like the back of book blurb isn't exaaaactly what happened here, but it was enough to get me to the first few pages, so that's probably what counts.

Cute little heist meets "How I met your mother" sort of deal. Light-hearted, entertaining. A fun read that doesn't take anything too seriously.

The Dragon Business is a fun comic fantasy with bits of satire about human credulity and occasional snide comments about the business of fiction.
I did not find it as charming as The Princess Bride by William Goldman, nor as witty as the Discworld books by Terry Pratchett, but if you liked those, I think you'll like this.

a funny and witty book, chasing dragons, and princesses in a slightly modern way.
