I'm Afraid You've Got Dragons

I absolutely loved this book. It feels like a fantasy book I would have read growing up, but it fits in current times. The author, Peter S. Beagle, takes classic troupes and updates them in ways that I didn't know I was looking for but was so glad I found while reading this book. The story has dragons, princes, princesses, kings, queens, villains, reluctant heroes, supporting characters, battles, adventure, and a hero's journey quest story. Still, it never felt like a story I had read before. As I got deeper and deeper into the book, I was compelled to keep reading in hopes the tale would end in the way I wanted it to, and for me, it did! After the halfway point, I just couldn't put it down. I also want to note the book has a gorgeous cover painted by the husband and wife team of Annie Stegg-Gerard and Justin Gerard. It's a fantastic cover for a magical book. Highly recommended for fairy tale and fantasy readers. Now, I need to read The Last Unicorn this year and explore more of Mr. Beagle's previous works.
