The Part About The Dragon Was (Mostly) True by Sean Gibson
Happy Release Day!
Y’all need to seriously check out this book! It’s hilarious! This is the type of humour I am totally here for and it perfectly suits the 2020 vibe. Gibson’s book is so entertaining and the commentary from Heloise is just gold. The comments and jokes made in this book are so clever, yet subtle, that sometimes it takes a second for it to hit. I’m halfway through this book and I’m loving every page. I can’t wait to finish it and have a review up for you guys by the end of the month 😊 This book is giving me some Kill the Farm Boy vibes so also check that out if you want a comp read after you finish this book!
Sure, you think you know the story of the fearsome red dragon, Dragonia. How it terrorized the village of Skendrick until a brave band of heroes answered the noble villagers' call for aid. How nothing could stop those courageous souls from facing down the dragon. How they emerged victorious and laden with treasure. But, even in a world filled with epic adventures and tales of derring-do, where dragons, goblins, and unlicensed prestidigitators run amok, legendary heroes don't always know what they're doing. Sometimes they're clueless. Sometimes beleaguered townsfolk are more hapless than helpless. And orcs? They're not always assholes, and sometimes they don't actually want to eat your children. Heloise the Bard, Erithea's most renowned storyteller (at least, to hear her tell it), is here to set the record straight. See, it turns out adventuring isn't easy, and true heroism is as rare as an articulate villager. Having spent decades propagating this particular myth (which, incidentally, she wrote), she's finally able to tell the real story—for which she just so happened to have a front-row seat. Welcome to Erithea. I hope you brought a change of undergarments—things are going to get messy.
