An Accident of Dragons

Tales of Summer #1

by Cheri Radke

An unlikely lord finally meets a problem he can’t flirt his way out of in this adventurous and light-hearted queer cozy fantasy featuring pirates, dragons, kidnapping, tea, and other high-fantasy delights for readers of Rebecca Thorne, TJ Klune, Sarah Beth Durst, and Travis Baldree.

In theory, the dragoness of Summer can make any resident on her island the ruler, if the previous Lord Summer is so careless as to die without an heir. In practice, absolutely no one expected her to choose Teddy, the last lord’s middle-aged fancy man. With his quick wit, heaps of charisma, and excellent dress sense, Teddy brings plenty of virtues to his new role, but statecraft, pedigree, and decorum are not among them. That’s all he’s done his duty to the island, and his five-year-old daughter, Zinnia, will make a brilliant Lady Summer when her time comes.

Except when a ship of desperate mainlander thieves arrives, Zinnia’s caught in the fracas and taken hostage. Teddy jumps into the rescue mission without delay, even though his days of adventures on the mainland are long buried with his lover. But his sailors have never seen their destination, and worse, the hard-liner admiral who leads them thinks Teddy’s a worthless dandy. Against a conniving robber baron, a sorceress who’s tamed her own dragon, and ordinary people with everything to lose, the crew faces terrible odds. But with all he loves in danger, Teddy must prove there’s more to him than he’d ever intended to show.

Okay, so first of all: I genuinely had a nice time with this book. The setting of Summer was super charming, and the whole island–dragon–contractor thing? I’ve never read anything quite like that before, which was really refreshing. I only wish we’d gotten a bit more description of what Summer actually looks like, because the vibes were there, but I kept wanting just a little more to latch onto.

The characters had a lot of potential, and I really liked Zinnia and Brook. Both of them stood out in a good way, and Brook especially felt incredibly real and grounded. I do think the cast could’ve used a bit more depth, but what was there was already engaging.

Writing-wise, it was mostly smooth and easy to get into, but sometimes it felt like certain sentences had been run through a thesaurus for no real reason. It made a few lines feel oddly fancy compared to the overall casual vibe, and those moments kind of pulled me out of the story.

My main point of confusion was the target audience. It’s marketed as Adult Fantasy, but most of the time it read much younger - closer to Middle Grade or Young Adult. Then there were scenes that clearly didn’t fit those categories, and the shift between tones disrupted the flow for me. It made the book feel unsure of what it wanted to be.

But overall? It was fun. I read it in three sittings, and I genuinely enjoyed spending time in the whimsical world of Summer. I just can’t help thinking it would’ve worked even better if it had been marketed as YA, with a few scenes adjusted to fit the genre more smoothly. As it is now, it felt a little “aimless” at points - but if you want a unique twist to dragons in fantasy then this is still absolutely worth the read.

Thanks to the publisher and to NetGalley for the opportunity to read a digital ARC in advance of publication in exchange for my honest review.

An Accident of Dragons by Cheri Radke quietly drew me into Teddy’s life, a middle-aged lord with a dragon companion, just as everything around him began to shift. I found myself noticing the small changes in his body, the unexpected discoveries that stirred up old family troubles again, and the gentle pressure inching in from beyond his island. The story keeps close to Teddy and those around him; every moment and each conversation feels quietly significant. There is always a gentle tension, a sense that something larger is waiting, just out of sight.

Reading it put me in mind of those long evenings spent alone, thinking about past choices, with only the soft hush of the house for company. The book never hurries or shouts. It carries a gentle restlessness, and I kept turning pages, curious about what might change next. I wandered with Teddy through palace corridors, watched the slow rhythms of daily life, and joined him on quiet trips away from the island. The drama always stays just beneath the surface, and the smallest details begin to matter more. The pace is slow, thoughtful, and each scene is given room to breathe.

Most of the time, that sense of warmth and reflection holds steady, thanks to Teddy’s voice. He has a dry humour, but there is a certain heaviness too, as though he bears more than he will ever say. At times, the story feels as if it strays too far along side paths and loses some of its focus; it seems more interested in wandering about than in driving straight ahead.

It is cosy fantasy at heart, with warmth and a touch of magic woven into the everyday, which I have always liked. What sets it apart, though, is the way it lingers over Teddy’s worries as he grows older. It is not all light and whimsy; it is about changing roles, shifting expectations, and that quiet confusion that comes as the years pass, while adventure waits close by.

Teddy starts out caught up in his old habits, but slowly, he comes to understand himself better, making choices that show how much he cares for those around him. His bond with the dragon is not just a bit of magic added for charm; it shapes him, and gives him a sense of belonging. Family and connection are at the centre of it all.

What stayed with me most is the honest way the book looks at relationships as they change. The politics of the story, though, seem to drift around without quite tying into Teddy’s own journey, which can leave the main thread feeling a little unsteady.

The world takes its time to unfold, which gives the magic a sense of being lived-in. Sometimes the details about mind-bonding are a bit tangled, and I found myself waiting for the story to settle them, which could break the flow for a while.

Whenever I reached a chapter title, I felt it revealed a little too much. It would pull me out of the world the story had taken such care to build. Instead of being surprised, the titles gave away the little turns ahead, and I wanted to find things out alongside the characters, to share their uncertainty rather than having the way marked out. Even a single word in a heading could give away what was coming, and I would catch myself trying to guess the next step instead of sinking into the story. I wished for a lighter hand, one that allowed me to discover things for myself.

By the end, I found myself thinking about how tightly we hold on to our old roles, and whether that helps us to change or keeps us stuck, just as family shapes us in ways we do not always see. The book feels much like reading someone’s private journal, with a little adventure, and a gentle, introspective sort of magic.

If you want a dragon story that looks at the people behind the scales, or enjoy gentle, cosy fantasy that explores the quiet changes of growing older, this one is a comfort. If you are looking for quick action or great drama, though, you may need to look elsewhere.

I'd like to thank NetGalley, the publisher and the author for providing a copy of the book in exchange for an honest review.

A wonderful cosy read about self reflection, people’s expectations, unexpected adventures and dragons!
It was so refreshing to read from a 40 year old’s point of view and I really enjoyed Teddy’s connection with the dragons.
A magical queer cosy fantasy read that I would definitely recommend!

Thank you to NetGalley and Kensington Publishing for allowing me to read this as an ARC.

Absolutely masterful. This book was mystery and thrill wrapped in enchantment (and dragons!) I was immediately swept away by the narration and the world building. Teddy's voice and thoughts as someone in his forties was a breath of fresh air even though it took me about half the book before I realised I couldn't trust everything he was saying which made me even more intrigued. I love little Zinnia! I immediately need more. More stories of Summer, more dragons, more mysteries to unravel. Failing which I might just have to re-read this book again, this time with more annotations to see what I missed in my first reading.

[Brittany · Rating 3 out of 5]

Let me say first, that this wasn't a bad book by any means, it just wasn't for me due to some issues which I have listed below. I think it's mismarketed and the only good parts of the story(Zinnia and the dragons) were ignored in favor of a ridiculous amount of the main character Teddy talking about his relationships. I think this could have been an excellent adventure story with a bit of editing, but as it is now it was quite lackluster.

I could tell from the first 2 pages that this was not going to be a "cozy fantasy" as it's marketed, and I also was pretty sure that I wasn't going to love this book - however, often I am surprised once I get into a book and end up unexpectently enjoying it. Seeing as I so graciously received an ARC, I felt I needed to give it a chance and read the whole thing.

Unfortunately, my initial impression was not wrong. There was nothing cozy about this fantasy. The main character is quite self centered and he never grew on me, even as he grew into himself throughout the story. Both the main character(Teddy) and his mom were prostitutes(not cozy at all). The most constant theme in this book is infidelity and unfaithfulness. The main character is in a marriage of convenience to produce an heir, and continues to be married to a quite lovely woman through to the end of the book, despite being gay. Everyone in the kingdom is quite aware of his preferences and several comments are made to jab at it throughout the book. I would be more ok with this if it was resolved by the end of the book (that is, everyone being accepted for who they are) but that never happens. Teddy openly cheats on his wife, the guy he is cheating with is a "family man" who is a closeted gay (and never ends up accepting this). Teddy's wife even gets one singular chapter in her point of view in which she contemplates cheating. Jeez. None of this gets resolved. I would have liked for these characters to have fully been able to accept themselves and been able to pursue the relationships they would prefer. This is also the plot content of like 80% of the book. There are many chapters the allude to intimate scenes between Teddy and the Admiral (all closed door, no spice), but Teddy HATES this guy, which made the cheating way worse. And it's just basically accepted by everyone.

Next thing I couldn't stand was the author’s use of the word "Summer". It drove me nuts! I understand the point the author was trying to make. The kingdom is called summer, the dragon is called Summer, and Teddy is Lord Summer, and they are all interconnected, so they don't need to reference what or who is being talked about. They just say "Summer" and it can mean all 3 things, and you have to figure out which one it is(there's even a joke at how the townsfolk just know which Summer is being talked about because it's so engrained in their everyday lives). But gosh was it annoying to have to figure out what was being discussed and quite frankly very confusing at the beginning of the story before it was explained. On a single page, you might see the word Summer 10+ times. In a single sentence, you might see the reference to all 3 "Summers" and have to figure out what was meant by each. This did not seem like a good choice made by the author, due to it being unnecessarily confusing for the reader.

This story is also told in first person, and when I say "told" I literally mean the main character is telling "this happened, then this happened" for the entire 320 pages instead of letting you experience it with him. It makes sense when you get to the last paragraph of the book but other than that it was basically a large info dump of a story.

What I did like was Teddy's 2 kids and the dragons, but for a story that supposedly revolves around rescuing the daughter and the dragon egg, it really didn't feature either very much. I felt like nothing happened for the first 20% of the book, everything up until 80% through was Teddy talking about his past and present relationships. There was a solid 10% of the book near the end where I was like, "finally some action" and then it started to drag again near 90%. Don't get me wrong, the writing was easy to read, so I still was able to finish the book quickly (6 hours total), but not much happened.

This apparently will be a series, and I will not be reading book 2. I think it wrapped up nicely enough and could be read as a standalone.

Thank you so much to Kensington Publishing and the author for providing an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

My review is based on an ARC I received through the Net Galley platform. It also contains SPOILERS.

Hmm… I’m not entirely sure what to say about this one. There were elements I genuinely loved, and yet just as many that didn’t land for me. I really wanted to love this book. At its core, it’s a sometimes-sweet story about a gay man coming into true self-acceptance in middle age. I love that concept, especially for a character who’s still so underrepresented, but something about the execution just felt… off.

The language at the beginning didn’t do much to endear me to our narrator. Maybe that was intentional, given his role as a perpetual student and self-styled gentleman, but it came across as overly floral and bordering on pretentious. From the start, his relationship with Brook felt odd—especially when placed in stark contrast to his relationship with Zinny. It read as more than simple disinterest in his stepson, even though Brook never rebuffs him or shows any real resistance to a connection. Again, maybe that was the point, but it left me feeling uneasy about our narrator right out of the gate.

I also struggled with how information was revealed throughout the book. At times it felt confusing and jarring. The narrator would drop a fact as if we were already supposed to know it, only to circle back paragraphs later with a sort of “peek behind the curtain.” I found myself constantly questioning things: Is Summer the island and the dragon and himself? Am I supposed to know who Alice is yet? That sense of disorientation pulled me out of the story more than once.

Some of the character development felt thin as well. We never really get to know Brook or even Canna. While they aren’t the central characters, their relationship to Lord Summer—and more interaction with them—would have added depth and helped ground our understanding of him. We get just the tip of the iceberg with Canna right after the prelude, and a bit more as the mysteries of the Otherland unfold through Brook’s interest, but I would have loved to see this explored further.

While I did develop empathy for Lord Summer as more of his backstory was revealed, I never formed a strong connection to him. Ultimately, he was likable but not lovable to me. I found his gullibility frustrating—Sally’s trap felt obvious from a mile away—and he could be unnecessarily cold to those around him. He frequently frames the Admiral as a prick, yet I never felt we were shown clear evidence of this. There’s mention of the Admiral’s rigid belief in traditional family values (which won’t earn him any points with me), but because nothing overt is depicted, it felt more like assumption or bias on Summer’s part than established fact. And yet… Summer still chooses to have an affair with him? I understand this is meant to highlight how little he values himself at that point, but we’re also shown moments that don’t paint the Admiral as entirely awful. Once again, I found myself conflicted and questioning the reliability of our narrator.

And for a book that’s supposed to be about dragons, I was surprised by how little actual dragon time we got—at least until Little Brother emerges from the egg. He was, hands down, the best character in the whole book.

All in all, I didn’t hate it. I didn’t love it. Some parts felt like a slog, while others made me wish we’d gone deeper into the world and its lore. I’d give this one a 2.5 out of 5 stars.

First things first - I wouldn't call An Accident of Dragons cosy, especially because of the themes (kidnapping, sexual assault, abuse, suicide, murder...) and moderate-high stakes. However, despite the themes and stakes, I would *absolutely* call it a lighthearted adventure. The writing has a tone that feels jaunty, optimistic and amusing, and it even had me laughing aloud a few times, which is a feat not easily achieved. If you enjoyed the tone of Dreadful by Caitlin Rozakis, I think it's highly likely you would enjoy An Accident of Dragons as well (comparatively I think the tone is very slightly softer here).

Having been disappointed by another book's dragon recently, I was pleased to enjoy Summer the dragon's characterisation in this novel. She is powerful and complex and I very much get the sense that she has her own world outside of the dragon-human mind-meld that we are privy to (a mind-meld itself being another thing I always love with dragons).

Our main character is a middle-aged gay man who has lived plenty of life prior to our meeting him. I always enjoy reading from such perspectives. In the society in which he lives, it seems that queerness is common and normalised - or at least, our main character doesn't spend a single moment concerning himself with other people's opinions of his sexuality.

In another similarity to Dreadful, An Accident of Dragons also explores self-actualization, by way of transformation from self-doubt to self-assurdness and increased self-knowledge through the escapades of adventure. This book is a truly incredible exploration of codependency and an unhealthy attachment style, and when this became clear it had me entirely floored and nearly in tears.

The gradual reveal of backstory through this book is quite intriguing. It had me wondering how it would all become connected in the end. And indeed, it was a very satisfying ending, in my opinion.

Thanks so much to Kensington Publishing/Erewhon Books and Netgalley for this experience. This review is my genuine opinion.

Huge thanks to NetGalley & the publishers for a chance to review this arc!
3.75✨ rounded up.

I initially requested this story because the cover was screaming ‘COZY’ at me ; I didn’t quite expect it to be a beautiful tale of grief and losing oneself.

Since the dawn of time, Summer’s Dragon has had a contractor from the same family line. Traditions are broken when her current contractor dies - and she picks his illegitimate lover ; Teddy.

The story progressed in a way that felt right. I would say that the journey was more about the healing than anything else.

The author’s writing makes you care for the characters. Teddy was grieving a complicated relationship, and we could see how deeply it had affected his whole person. He felt out of place, struggled with people pleasing and was inside his head a lot. He was also facing racism, and had to grow up quickly from his difficult childhood. His stepson (Brook) stole the spotlight a little while ; and I liked how they ended up talking instead of staying in the same miscommunication cycle.

The only things that hindered my reading experience were how Teddy treated Brook at first & that we got too many inside thoughts from Teddy - it grew tedious around the 80% mark.

The characters were different from what I usually read - were it for their reactions, thought process or personalities. Canna was a very interesting character and even if she wasn’t a MC, I still felt for her deeply. I liked reading about unique, unconventional characters. I still had questions regarding the other set of characters but the ending felt opened.

Overall, it was a reflective and insightful read. I will admit I have dealt with difficult grief in the past, and it made me reflect about how I had changed afterwards. Grief isn’t linear and is unique to each person & situation. I recommend this book.

[Lemurkat · Rating 5 out of 5]

"An Accident of Dragons" was a delightful read. Branded as cozy, it did steer into the heavier content, including some fairly dark moments, but for the most part, the tone was lightly whimsical. This is, in part, due to Lord Summer, or Teddy, as he is known to his friends. Current lord of Summer-the-Island and contracted to Summer-the-dragon. He's a wonderful protagonist - the opposite of the traditional hyper-masculine Lord, he's almost flamboyantly gay, and, superficially, quite frivolous.. For beneath the surface, Teddy is filled with self-doubt and a certain level of self-loathing. But he is far more capable than he appears..

The characters were all wonderfully distinct, the relationships complicated. Teddy is also not the most reliable of narrators, and although he does bare most of his heart to you, the reader, it is with a certain amount of reluctance. His behavior can be selfish, sometimes his tongue is bordering on cruel. But he's so wonderfully flawed, and so relatably human. I had hopes at some point that it might turn into a romance., but this is not a love story. Well, not of the kind I expected, at least.. It's more a story about learning to love your home; your people; your dragon - and to a certain extent, yourself.

First and foremost, Teddy loves his daughter, Zinny. She's a strange child, with a hint of wildness. Which comes, of course, from being the intended heir to the dragon. And when she's taken by pirates, he'll do anything to get her back. But what he is lead to believe is a simple trade - his daughter for an egg - turns into so much more. And Teddy's going to need more than just his charm to bring her home.

It's nice to finally have another story I can give 5 stars too. I really hope that author continues with stories in this world. I am particularly interested in Tom Hollow.

Thanks to NetGalley.

3.25/5

A fun book that plays with humour, tone, and grief. Change, too. The cover is quite a good indication of what to expect, light fantasy adventure with dragons.

Our main character and narrator is a bit on the older side which was refreshing even though his voice felt quite young and carefree, a façade for his struggles. Zinnia and Brook, daughter and stepson to Teddy, the main character, were fun to read and felt a little more detailed than the other characters, despite their young age. I still didn't really got invested in them or anyone else, really. I don't really know why I struggled with getting a grip on the story. The elements are there, the writing is nice, and yet, there was an sense of slipping through story without caring about it. Maybe the tension between a quite YA feel for the overall protrayal of emotions and setting clashed with the harder and darker elements, making for a weird in-between.

Still, following Teddy on his quest to get his daughter back, all the while having to deal with old pain, his contracted dragon and a dragon egg. He isn't as trusworthy as we might think, as his exuberant side hints at, but he does try to do good things, in a place who don't take change easily.

I don't really know how to expand on this review. It wasn't a bad read, but I wanted a bit more to chew on and couldn't find it.

[Sadie Forsythe · Rating 5 out of 5]

Oh, I very much enjoyed this. I firmly suspect this book will not be everyone's cup of tea. The hero is a sartorially flashy, effeminate, over forty, black, gay, ex-whore, who is now heterosexually married with children, has risen in station, and is self-deprecating to the point of unreliability. The Venn diagram of readers who will find something in him to disapprove of is disappointingly large. (Something to keep in mind when looking at ratings of this book, I'm sure.) I, however, am not one of those people. I adored Summer, his dry, acerbic wit, and his willingness to love if given half the chance. He also shows quite a lot of personal growth throughout the book, coming to better understand himself, his past, his current circumstances, and those around him.

The dragons, however, though essential to the world and story, are given surprisingly little page time. You don't see a lot of them in the grand scheme of things, which I was sad about. But they serve their purpose well. Also, there were times I wished Radke had given the reader a bit more depth on certain things. Summer didn't push for answers, so he doesn't get them. Which means the reader doesn't either.

All in all, I'm hoping there will be more Tales of Summer in the future, and I look forward to reading them.

[Conan The Librarian · Rating 5 out of 5]

So I usually gravitate towards epic fantasy/space opera grand battles sort of thing, but this little gem breezed into my rotation and I couldn't be happier. As a late convert to Pride and Prejudice (novel and 1995 BBC series) I appreciated the humor, delicate social interactions, attention to style, and world-building in this novel. The main character (Teddy) is competent at mainly useless things like fashion and dancing, but when forced to deal will real-world problems, he rallies and muddles his way through in a relatable and humorous way. His daughter Zinnia is also a very entertaining and well-written character. As the father of a brainy and sometimes sassy daughter myself, I could very much relate to Teddy navigating through parenting a smart and self assured child who refuses to be treated as a child. Oh, and dragons! Who would care about dungeons without them? The novel's characterization of dragons is an artful blend of expectations and novelty, which in the end is all a reader can ask for; being both comforted and dazzled. I hope there are more to come.

[Paul · Rating 5 out of 5]

I didn’t quite know what to expect going into this one, but I ended up really enjoying it. The island of Summer is super charming, the story felt so original—I’ve honestly never read anything like this before, which was such a nice surprise.

This story feels like a cozy mix of mystery, light suspense, and enchantment, all wrapped up in a gentle fantasy adventure (with dragons!). One thing I really appreciated was that the main character is a bit older—it was refreshing to read a fantasy story through a mid-life perspective.

Overall, this was an easy, enjoyable read and a lovely little escape.

[Emma Denhoff · Rating 5 out of 5]

I went into this book expecting love, romance, and a cheesy, predictable romantasy plot, with the novel twist of the main character being middle-aged. I was pleasantly surprised to find a story centered on self-love, fatherhood, and the search for a sense of self when your entire world revolves around caring for others. The main character both accepts and struggles with the aged, inaccurate perceptions of who he is held by those who wish to control or dismiss him. This is an absolutely beautiful read, and I cannot recommend it highly enough.

Also there are dragons, cute kiddos and a lavender marriage.

I really wanted to love this, but I struggled to get through it. The story is told almost entirely through Teddy, who I found to be unlikeable. The whole book felt like a series of things being told at me as opposed to feeling immersed in the story. There's a lot of Teddy telling exactly what he's thinking, giving sequences of events, and telling about things that happened in the past. I was also hoping to spend more time with the dragons, and I really wanted to learn more about their connection and magic. I felt like I had more questions than answers by the end.

This book was so much more than I could have hoped for! The description of this book is an “adventurous and light-hearted queer cozy fantasy…”
I love the concept of all those things, but too many times books like this miss the mark and dive off into cutesy inanity, not thoughtful enough for a good plot and certainly not surprising.
But this book surprised me. I found it witty, clever, and delightful…and so very easy to read. There was no tea, as the back of the book suggests, but I did not find myself missing it at all. I read it in one day, and enjoyed every moment!
