Reviews with content warning for Sexual content - That Time I Got Drunk and Saved a Demon: Mead Mishaps 1

I know that the whole deal about this book is the use of contemporary language/slang in a historical/fantasy setting and I will admit that it took me longer to get used to it than I expected and I did almost DNF very early on because of it. However, ultimately this book offers an adventurous plot that rly clips along, a sexy possessive demon, a band of merry misfits, a noble if reluctant heroine, and hot sex, so it's definitely not bad!

I think Lemming does good work with the reluctant adventurer trope in Cinnamon, whose desire to NOT be the main character is pretty charming and relatable. I did find her narration a bit grating at first but once you settle in to the tone this book has a lot of fun to offer - she grows on you. I liked Fallon a lot of but of course I did. I appreciated that the world building is so well-intgrated into the book that it's not boring at all, and you get just the right amount of it. There's a little more telling than showing going on with characterization than I would prefer, but overall I think it's well-handled and well-balanced.

It's ultimately not really my cup of tea, but I would still read and enjoy the rest of the series, so take from that what you will!

The setting and the main character's narration were fun, but the characters and romance were extremely underdeveloped. They fell in love in like 5 days, and I just didn't see any bonding moments where they really got to know each other. I couldn't see what they loved about each other besides finding each other hot. Fallon was too possessive for my taste, and I didn't care for the dubcon.

Like a fun and sexy dungeons and dragons campaign where you always roll high. The plot moves quickly and isn't complex but kept me turning the page. The humor was refreshing and delightful and I literally laughed out loud several times (a rare feat!). The romance was spicy and respectful.
