Their companion is not only adorable, but fiercely loyal. Penny’s gryphon companion, Morey, is wonderfully clever and humorous. There is also a great mix of church duties and supernatural ones – where there is also a church order.īesides the wonderful tightrope walking dance Cymri takes us on, the characters are lovely. We also have scenes where Penny embraces her fandom and fulfills her wildest dreams – riding on taxi dragons and seeing unicorns. We have scenes of Penny’s community and the daily struggles of running a church in a community where the faith seems to be on the decline. ReviewĬymri does a fantastic, see what I did there, job at balancing the mundane with the supernatural. And this means she spends her off time negotiating with cannibalistic dragons, dealing with a gryphon who can’t drink alone, and taking rides on a very mysterious dragon of her own. Penny is asked to maintain her job as the priest of a small church, as well as serve as a liaison between the other sides of the thin place as well. It’s not all fun snail-shark hunting or dragon rides. This night begins a supernatural journey that will expose all those ‘myths’ as real: dragons, were-foxes, gryphons, the whole band of them. Summaryĭriving along the highway at night, Penny could never have dreamed that she would be administering the last rites to a dragon hit by a car. The Temptation of Dragons was such a fun fantasy book, that reminded me of the urban fantasy books I used to read in high school – but even more nerdy references and badass heroines.
