Dragon* #1
Dragon Princess
In this humorous and offbeat fantasy, magic is rarely perfect, heroes are rarely honorable, and you just might wake up in a body that's not your own…
Frank Blackthorne's most recent heist did not end optimally. The sacrificial virgin survived, but the whole incident left Frank, a respectable career thief, on the run from a kingdom full of evil cultists eager to replace their sacrifice.
So, when the Court Wizard of Lendowyn, Elhared the Unwise, comes to him intending to hire someone to save Lendowyn’s princess from an evil dragon in return for riches, glory, and help with the bloodthirsty cultists problem, Frank is rightfully suspicious. Frank is also not in a position to refuse.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, Frank’s rescue fails—in an explosion of spectacularly misapplied magic. When the dust settles, all parties involved find themselves body-swapped. Frank is left stranded in the Princess Lucille’s body, halfway across the kingdom. The understandably angry Princess Lucille finds herself inhabiting the body of the dragon. In order to set things right, they will have to team up and face down thugs, slavers, elvish bookies, knights in shining armor, an evil Queen, and the hordes of the Dark Lord Nâtalc.

A pretty solid fantasy for an author I have never heard of with lots of fun humour. Pick it up if you need a fun & light fantasy read.

“Frank Blackthorne's most recent heist did not end optimally. The sacrificial virgin survived, but the whole incident left Frank, a respectable career thief, on the run from a kingdom full of evil cultists eager to replace their sacrifice.
So, when the Court Wizard of Lendowyn, Elhared the Unwise, comes to him intending to hire someone to save Lendowyn’s princess from an evil dragon in return for riches, glory, and help with the bloodthirsty cultists problem, Frank is rightfully suspicious. Frank is also not in a position to refuse.

I was a bit skeptical of this book when I first started reading it, because the humor is so prevalent and so in-your-face that it almost felt forced. After a few chapters, though, the story found its rhythm and I began to really enjoy it. I think it’s mostly that the type of humor that the author is utilizing is better suited to the madcap hijinks post-body-swap than to the plot set-up of the earlier chapters.
Once the novel found its footing, I really enjoyed it. It’s hilarious to watch Frank try to navigate the logistics of a woman’s body, clothing, and social mores without betraying that he has no clue what he’s doing. This leads to the realization that you can’t run well in heels, the acquisition of sexy leather clothing, and the problem of how to use your cleavage to best advantage. There are also some sobering moments when Frank really comprehends how much danger he might be in simply because he’s female.
As mentioned in the synopsis, Lucille ends up in the dragon’s body, which neatly sidesteps the trite “let’s swap genders and see what happens!” trope. She’s dealing with something that disadvantages her just as much as Frank is disadvantaged by being a woman—namely, Lucille is no longer human. The question for both of these characters then becomes whether or not they can turn those disadvantages around and learn to capitalize on what they’ve got.
While the plot is definitely not as light as the humor, it does give Frank and Lucille the excuse for a pretty varied roster of adventures. They come into contact with different races and different social classes, as well as many ways of making a living and surviving in harsh circumstances. The story isn’t repetitive, that’s for sure! It’s fun without being fluffy, and entertaining without being inane. It straddles the line between humorous fantasy and some of the darker stuff and does so with style.
Dragon Princess has wit, action and hilarity in equal measures and should prove an enjoyable read for those looking for something fast-paced and fun. I hope the author does more in this vein, because I enjoyed the writing style and would love to see Frank and Lucille’s further adventures.

While I never leave the house without my Kobo in my purse, I do still love the feel and smell of a real book. Dragon Princess was a paperback that caught my eye for two reasons (the title and the gloriously cheesy cover) but which won me over with is promise of gender-swapping mayhem.
Now, S. Andrew Swann is not quite up there with the likes of Terry Pratchett or Douglas Adams, but his writing strikes a nice balance between humor and storytelling that managed to sustain my enjoyment far beyond the initial gender-swapped glee. In fact, I found this to be a rather clever little book that takes great pleasure in twisting and toppling gender tropes as it goes.
With Dragon Princess we have a thief pretending to be a knight, a wizard with ulterior motives, a dragon with a gambling problem, a princess who would rather be a dragon, an stuffy old knight who actually serves the Dark Lord, an awkward barbarian who is the smartest of the bunch, and some of the greediest elves you are likely to ever set eyes on.
Much of the humor here is in the storytelling, with Frank Blackthorne a self-depreciating narrator with a sarcastic sense of pessimism. It is his narration that keeps the story from exhausting the novelty factor, while the personalities of Frank (in the Princess' body) and Lucille (in the dragon's body) serve to draw the reader in and elevate the story above its bodyswap/genderswap roots. Sadly, there is nary a moment of self-appreciation, much less sexual exploration, but that is hardly surprising for a mainstream paperback.
Swann weaves a surprisingly complex story here, with multiple plots and schemes all coming together in the end, and a wide cast of characters who keep the story moving along. Quirky and fun, Dragon Princess is that rare breed of novel that succeeds as both a work of fantasy and humor. It had me smiling throughout, and even giggling aloud at times.

This is the first book by S. Andrew Swann that I've read, continuing my attempt to read new-to-me authors this year. And it was a blast! Definitely a fun romp through fantasy tropes with a twist.
Premise: Frank Blackthorne is a not-so-great thief on the run after accidentally disrupting a virgin sacrifice to a Dark Lord. After rescuing the virgin, he finds himself in need of an escape from an entire kingdom. When a wizard approaches him with an offer to help save a princess from a dragon in exchange for the princess' hand in marriage, he's rightfully suspicious, but also out of options. Of course, the rescue goes horribly wrong and suddenly he finds himself trapped in the princess' body and deposited in the middle of nowhere. Now he has to find his way back, find the wizard, and hopefully get his own body back!
Again, this is intended to be a fun, glorious romp through all of the fantasy tropes you've grown to love and it's exactly that. The twist, of course, is the body swapping, which S. Andrew Swann handles wonderfully. The moment I started reading, I was caught up in the story and the adventure dragged me along and kept me interested, with likeable characters (a must for these types of books) and a plot that unravels and gets more complicated the more Frank finds out in his search for the wizard. The best part of the novel is that the plot hinges completely on the four major characters involved (princess, dragon, wizard, thief) and that each of those characters has their own story, their own motivations, and all of them are completely believable.
If you like fun, humorous fantasy, I'd definitely recommend this book (and its sequel, which I've already read). I'm now waiting impatiently for the third book in the series.

I received this book from Goodreads.
I absolutely loved Dragon Princess!
Dragon Princess is one of those books that when I flipped to the first page and read the first sentence- no, the first words I knew I'd love this book.
I'm sure every book nerd in the world knows the feeling when your eyes lock onto a book and you just know its going to be goooood. I mean, just look at that cover! The grinning dragon and stubborn pouty princess reeled me in before I even cracked open the cover.
Of course its not the outside that counts, its what's on the inside, and the inside of Dragon Princess is full of personality, humor, mystery, sacrifice, twists and turns, and heart.
I'd recommend it to anyone.
Some of you might be thinking this is a book for children ( middle grade and younger) but I'd categorize it as YA. There is enough fantasy to appeal to children but the humor,writing, and also the fact that it's in a male POV definitely puts it in YA.

Frank Blackthorne is a thief, except his most recent heist goes somewhat awry when the Temple of Natlac is not as empty as he was told... After rescuing the then-virgin, Frank takes a job to rescue a Princess from a dragon so that perhaps he can turn his luck around. But that doesn't go so well either after a spell has some unintended consequences of putting Frank's soul into the princess' body. Hijinks ensue as the thief-turned-princess and princess-turned-dragon search for the Evil Wizard so their souls can be returned to the correct bodies.
The book was as humorous as the cover said it was going to be. I loved the interactions between Frank and Lucille as well as Frank's problems finding himself in the body of a nubile princess. The "bad guys" were delightfully twisted and caused no end of issues for poor Frank. I look forward to a second book.

Absolutely loved this light fantasy and was sad when it ended. The princess/dragon is a great character and the legal system is almost a character in itself. So glad there are two more books in the series.
Five stars and highly recommend this book.

I was a little hesitant reading this book because of the the body switching, but it was really well done. The writing was entertaining and descriptive. I really enjoyed this book more than I expected. It was a fun fantasy, not all grim dark and I am so glad it was.
September 23, 2014
A few too many attempted rapes as plot points for my taste, but otherwise a fun read with an unexpected ending.
May 20, 2015
Really funny, better then PRatchett, but with a serious underthone about being trapped inside someone else body. Great book!!

One of the things I like about reading challenges is that you read things you might otherwise not have picked up. This book fit a slot in a challenge for this year, and, reading the summary, I thought it would be a fantasy satire, and a decent read. It was actually a lot better than that.
Down on his luck thief Frank Blackpoole gets approached in a tavern by a questionable wizard. Out of options, Frank agrees to the insane plan of slaying a dragon to save a princess-- clearly a job for a hero, not a thief. Frank actually makes it to the dragon's cave, finds the Princess Lucille... and then everything falls apart. Nothing is what it seems, there are agendas poor Frank has no idea about, and this is the first of many plot twists that keeps things interesting.
Stuck in the aftermath of the first part of the plan gone awry, Frank scrabbles to find a way to get everything back to normal. He comes up with a halfway decent plan, and naturally that goes wrong. Among the complications are an evil cult, a spoiled prince, a knight with some interesting religious ideas, scheming fae, and a barbarian with unexpected talents.
It's funny without going for obvious jokes, and has a lot of great plot twists I didn't remotely see coming. The fantasy genre is crowded, and I'll admit this isn't a top tier story, but it's a damn good one and deserves more attention than it's gotten.
Recommended for anyone who likes fantasy with a sense of humor, or a just plain good story.

A dragon, a captured princess, a wizard, and a thief walk into a cave...
Frank is a thief down on his luck and trying to drown in sorrows in something disgusting but alcoholic when the wizard finds him. Somehow, the wizard convinces him to go and rescue a princess from a terrible dragon and this wizard promises to help and that the reward will be great. The only problem, Frank's luck isn't that good. Magic backfires. Things go very wrong. Frank must find a way to deal with his new problems in high heels to which he refers to as shoes of death.
I was really expecting this to be a slap stick comedy. Amusing, but not much more. I was wrong. Dragon Princess is well told and fun, but not overly light-hearted with some gore mixed in for good measure. (You can't have a dark lord with no innards afterall.)

I have enjoyed this author's writing, especially the last Tony the Tiger book in the Morea series Fearful Symmetries: The Return of Nohar Rajasthan. So I figured I would try the author's fantasy.
This is a fairly light-hearted fantasy where the MC, a lowly thief, is hired rather persuasively to do the wiard's bidding. Through the story the thief ends up in the princess's body and the princess ends up in the male dragon's body.
The rather blaise depiction of human sacrifice may put off some readers, but there wasn't overt or descriptive sacrifice.
There is no sex, so this isn't a story for you. You might check out Wizard's First Rule series for graphic sex in fantasy - especially the later books.
I will probably read the rest of this series, but this first book wasn't so fantastic that I have to read the next book in the series. I'll get around to it - someday.

A decent comedy adventure romp that would've been a lot more enjoyable without the attempted rape every other chapter. I was also expecting the story to be more of a buddy comedy, going by the cover and the blurb on the back, but it's more of a one-man show with other character occasionally playing assist before being hastily shuttled out of the story. This is the Frank Blackthorne show and the book never lets you forget it.
It's not deep, and the characters are kinda cardboard, but it's fun enough.

This is a great and fun story. It is filled with humor and the story stays interesting though out. I really liked the ending as it did not have the typical happy ending that one might expect. The characters are really like able and mesh well together. I really recommend this book. It is a fast and easy read. I can not wait to read the next installment. If you like wizards and fantasy I would definitely pick this one up.

I like the Andrew Swann (whichever name he uses) books I have read, so I picked this up even though Sword and Sorcery Fantasy is not my preferred reading. I liked the characters, and they all seemed to be realistic enough to not be total stereotypes for this kind of book. The comedy was light; not over-the-top slap-stick or silly, so that the overall feel was that it was a Fantasy story with some humor rather than a Comedy set in a fantasy world.

I wanted to get into fantasy but didn’t want to read a really serious or long series. This series was so funny and gripping. Each book actually got better and better. I flew through them and had to read all three. That was a nice surprise. It also got a bit darker with each book, but stayed hilarious. Very highly recommend!!! ❤️
November 21, 2024
This was a pretty good read for all the oddball permisethat could have been played very insentively. I enjoyed how much the princess liked being a dragon. And it was nice gettingto see Frank actually showing off beinga competent thief. And the multilingual barbarian. Will definately be getting the rest of the series.

Short read which keeps you entertained. It's witty characters and body-swapping situations are a lot of fun and it makes you just want to continue turning pages till the end.
On the other side, the story is not especially complex and the world building is just so so but that's about it.

Was a bit worried when it started that it would be too sexist to enjoy, but, even though the protagonist is flawed he's not evil, either, and it felt like the two main characters each got to grow and learn a little. And many parts of it were quite funny. All in all, pleasantly surprised.

January 24, 2025Hold placed (2 weeks approximately) for this Libby Library book. Read sample text to large 46. Very humorously told tale of magical dare-doings by a roughshod unaccomplished thief/adventurer. Several notable phases of a bard's tongue in the first few chapters.

This was a lot of fun. Now to track down the other two.

OMG this book is so funny, kinda like Piers Anthony's Xanth novels and Pratchet's Discworld, it is a rousing adventure but pokes fun at the fantasy story. At first I thought the thief in this story was a bit like Ash from the Evil Dead series, but he ends up having a bit more heart and sincerity in this one, or maybe it's because he gets sent into living in a princess body and kinda has to deal with that, and the princess was sent into the Dragon's body and well....it gets complicated but its so fun to read I was laughing out loud so I am keeping this trilogy when I am done. I don't reread stuff that often cause the story stays with me but maybe a few years from now I'd read it again.

I love body-switch stories, so I give two stars based primarily on that. The narrative voice was fun, but that was not enough to lift this fairly predictable book above the level of mediocre for me.

sooo funny

A fun romp through a fantasy body-swap episode. Good characters and a well paced plot.

I thought this would be a humorous fantasy but found that it was so much more. There is a good story but also a nice development in characters as well. And it is funny.
May 1, 2020
(3.5) I wish this had wrapped up more, but a lot of it was good fun.
February 8, 2021
This is a fun comical read!
I liked most of the characters - especially the unexpected ones we met along the way.
