I'm Afraid You've Got Dragons

Bookseller recommendation

“Beagle has crafted a humorous story full of dangers, daring adventures, deadly dragons, and a dark wizard. I'm Afraid You've Got Dragons is a fairytale-esque fantasy with a reluctant dragon hunter, a hesitant prince, and a stubborn princess who set out on a quest they aren't quite prepared for. This story is full of dry, witty humor and odd, whimsical turns that balance out the dangers that arise and the roles in which characters are cast. This was a charming story and a fun read! But be aware, readers - horses and dragons were harmed in the making of this book. The audiobook was fun to listen to! Shaun Taylor-Corbett does a fantastic job narrating. ”

“Whimsical, cozy, sweet and wholesome are the words Roxy uses to describe this book. Gaius Aurelius Constantine Heliogabulus Thrax (though he'd much rather be called Robert) inherited the family business of dragon catcher / exterminator. But Robert has bigger dreams above his station to become a prince's valet. Thus begins an adventure that will take him far beyond becoming a valet. Joined by a delightful cast of characters, including a princess, prince, friends and - of course - dragons, Robert and those around him learn they are capable of anything, not matter who or what they were born as. Content Warning: dragon death 😢 Narrator Shaun Taylor-Corbett absolutely nails the character voices, adding so much whimsy to the audiobook. ”

“Both whimsical and dark, this trope-filled fantasy novel will satisfy many fantasy readers. There's a commoner who wishes only for a simple life, an evil wizard hell-bent on revenge, a princess stubbornly looking for love, and a prince driven by an overbearing father, plus plenty of dragons! ”

“This was just an absolutely wonderful story to listen to! It has pesky little dragons and reluctant knights. It has cynical princesses and tyrannical wizards. It’s a fantastic and satisfying adventure story in which loads of exciting things happen and everyone gets what they deserve in the end. If you’re looking for lighthearted and magical escapism, here’s your ticket. ”

“From the author of The Last Unicorn comes a new fairytale for all ages. With a dragon exterminator turned unwilling hero, headstrong princess, seemingly incompetent prince, cruel king, and evil wizard, Beagle weaves a new family friendly fantasy with wit. This will a great bed-time story for young and old alike.”

“The king dragons of old haven’t been seen in a hot minute, and the dragons that remain are more akin to slightly more dangerous raccoons. It’s Robert’s job to exterminate these pests, a job he hates almost as much as he loves the creatures. His skills are called upon to rid the local palace of a severe infestation, putting him squarely in the middle of a weird little marriage/ princely plot. The adventures that follow are tumultuous and deeply entertaining. This is a classic fantasy adventure. Beagle infuses this tale with love and a sense of humor. It is all about the importance of being soft, even when it would be easier to be protected by a hard shell. I fell in love with this story, and hope you will too. Your name”
