“Little did I know that I needed a heartwarming and eccentric family made up of four humans and five griffins in my life! If a cartoon were turned into a book, it’d be this absurd but absolutely charming novel. Just like us, the people of this fantasy world are exhausted and overwhelmed and overworked—but they’re living alongside dragons and flying pigs and elves! It’s a fun romp with sinister undertones. ”
