I’m Afraid You’ve Got Dragons
by Peter S. Beagle (Simon & Schuster, 2024)
audiobook read by Shaun Taylor-Corbett (Simon & Schuster Audio, 2024)
A gentle fantasy that subverts tropes even while making use of them. Though dragons feature, most of the plot is submerged-iceberg character development: Robert and Princess Cerise in particular, but also Prince Reginald, Ostvald and Elfrieda. Taylor-Corbett’s audiobook reading plays to this.
