Dating and Dragons, by Kristy Boyce (2024)
⭐️⭐️⭐️💫
Premise: After moving to a new school, a teenager develops a crush on a member of her new D&D party, which has a strict no-dating policy.
Review: This was a mixed bag for me. On the plus side, it has some great intergenerational family content and an easy-to-root-for couple. ⬇️

This one was also okay. Some sections went on too long, especially the third half of the book. The dialogue felt awkward at points. The romance scenes were cringey and the reasoning behind the streamed games felt uninspired.
I wonder if some of these spells are like a copyright infringement because “Magic Hand“ isn't exactly what Mage Hand is called 😅
A bit of a spoiler, I guess, so I will tag it as such. I am already having an issue with this twist, not from a writing perspective, but more because I have seen things like that happen way too often.
So this character is saying, how they wouldn't be streaming if it didn't get views, and expressing desires to make it as big as CR or other big/famous liveplays, and I just find that very pathetic. Because people who click on liveplays--

This was a cute one. I found myself invested in the storyline rather quickly. The grandma killed me, I love her so much. She might actually be the best part of the whole book. It was a fun story to mix up what I have been reading lately.

I didn‘t finish it in one day, but I did wrap it up this morning over tea. Just as good as the first, there‘s no connection between them (except a blink-and-you‘ll-miss-it cameo by an unnamed Riley). Quinn has baggage to deal with when she joins Logan‘s D&D group at her new school, and their brewing attraction could scuttle the whole game. Green flags abound in these stories! Just the pick-me-up I needed when the world is terrible.
