Highfire by Eoin Colfer

So, this is an interesting one for the Netgalley archives! I requested to read the Harper version which looks like this!

Then, the Jo Fletcher version popped up as a Read Now option a bit later and I grabbed it because I am impatient and desperate to read things like Eoin Colfer's shopping lists. I was approved and I gobbled it up.

The Jo Fletcher cover looks like this!

Have you ever considered what it would be like to see a dragon doing burpees? If so, this is definitely the book for you!

The book tells the tale of Very, the last dragon on the planet. Very is a hard-drinking curmudgeon who hates Game of Thrones due to the way the dragons are treated and it's these character beats that really make Vern as a character for me.

This is the story of Vern and a not so hapless doofus called Squib who meet when Squib is trying to get the goods on EEVIL constable Regence Hooke.

Hooke wants to bed Squib's my m and he is not thrilled at the prospect at ALL!

The relationship that develops between Vern and Squib is very sweet and funny.

I loved this book so much!
