Queen B’s Decree: I was so into the first in the series, Dragonfly and I’ve been interested in this pairing since we first met them.
And I still really loved Dallan. I enjoyed his protectiveness, how he takes care of all his employees (essentially his family!), his patience…and also face tentacles. But I had a little more issues resonating with Effie. She’s definitely struggling with past trauma but maybe it’s because I’m human and I have a shorter lifespan…but shouldn’t you have gotten some therapy in 60 years to deal with that?
Regardless, I enjoyed the storyline and I loved meeting the new characters. Monstrous Ink is still a cute monster series and I’ll happily read more.
