This series is so much silly fun and I truly enjoy reading the absolutely bonkers books in it. Saved a Human has the adventure element that was kind of missing from Yeeted a Love Potion and I liked the couple in it a lot but for me it still didn’t quite live up to the first book. I enjoyed Cherry and Dante’s dynamic, plus I loved Cherry as a main character. Her instinct to immediately drug this guy to get him to help her made me laugh out loud, as did Dante’s subsequent bad trip. (Side note: don’t drug people in real life. It won’t get you a rich dragon-shifter husband; it’ll get you a jail cell.)

The side plot with Rebekah and the return of Alexis the talking sword were so fun. The only thing I didn’t really care for (and the reason I still prefer the first book) is that
I didn’t love Cherry’s quest to get home. I tried to understand her reasoning for not wanting to potentially open her family and hometown up to the wrath of a dragon but I could quite reconcile the logic. If I’d been kidnapped and kept from my home for 5 years, I’d be doing anything to get back to them. I also wish there had been a longer reunion between Cherry and her family. I was unsatisfied with her casual return when her family thought she’d been dead for years.


I’ll be backtracking to the companion novellas now and hoping that Kimberly Lemming continues this series forever because they are so much joyous fun.
