Yeeeesss! Go, Armand, burn the kraken!

You can win, use the fire, damn you, make grilled shrimp outta that bastard sea monster and save your princess. Don’t fail me now, damn you!

That prince vs dragon was the most absurd and hilarious duel I've read. It's reminding me why this used to be my favourite fairy tale trope in the past.

I'm rooting for the dragon this time. I'm betting 100 quid on you, Armand. Go at 'im! Sock 'im! Rock 'im! Burn 'im!

Marina Yurievna! Sergey Sergeievich! If you don't make this dragon end up with this princess, I'm going to be very, very disappointed and very, very cross.

I mean, the maiden saves the dragon? He's now honour-bound to eat her. (. . . figuratively speaking, you perverts!). These are the fairy tale rules.

Can you tell I'm having a great time with this quirky story yet?

This is patching up my soul beautifully! I'm loving the weird take on this trope.

Please, don't add a love triangle with Austin.
Please, don't change the dragon.
Please, don't make Yuta different.

If all goes well, this may end up my favourite or one of my favourites from all the Dyachenkos' books. Just don't ruin it, please, Mrs Marina, ma'am! Please don't ruin it, Mr Sergey, sir! No... Love... Triangle...

Amen.

From the opening chapter, I'm already amused by this dragon who refuses to eat princesses (haha) and the princesses being such a contrast of personalities. I wonder which one will be the sacrifice? My fave so far is Yuta.

In Marina & Sergey Dyachenko we trust. If anyone can give me an anti-fairy tale that is somehow a fairy tale, it's them. If this works out, I'll ask the Ns to adopt me for the bragging rights.
