Minerva Wakes

This is a light, fluffy 80/90s type of fantasy (i.e. a bit old fashioned) but still enjoyable provided you aren't looking for anything serious or dark. This story has humour; some serious bits; a quest; a pissed off mommy; a Wheaties chomping, beer-swilling dragon; magic rings; someone called the Unweaver; a portal fantasy land; and a moral.

NOTE 1: The characters in this novel make use of some "colourful" language.

NOTE 2: This is a standalone novel!!! No never-ending, unending series here.

NOTE 3: I read the revised edition of the book published by the author in 2016.

6/10 An odd sort of portal fantasy, involving parents trying to rescue their kids. Pretty sure I had read it before.

Minerva mother of three and stuck in boring marriage. Is beaten to the last bag of Wheaties by a dragon and before she knows it her Kids are being held in another universe so she sets of to rescue them. Familiar theme about the importance of creativity. in opposing entropy is rather spoilt by the fluffiness. You never feel anyone is in serious danger. The humour falls flat for me.
