Ms. Thompson performs a slight gender twist on her previous novels set in Big Knob. This time, the worldly outsider who believes in the supernatural is male while his partner in denial is a female. The nerdiness is gender roles switched as well, providing a genuine surprise for her loyal fanbase. When a royal suitor presents himself as competition and there’s French sophistication as an actual lure, the outcome of this romance is actually in doubt. The sexual attraction among the central romantic leads is heated enough but the sex itself takes a back seat for more important matters. The story provides multiple viewpoints between protagonists and puts George the dragon in a pivotal role. It’s a satisfying coda to the series, charming, exciting, emotionally gratifying and sexually potent.
