Dragon Soup

By Patty Jansen
Dragon Soup by Patty Jansen digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

When Perrin was so desperate that he applied for a job with the Bureau of Magic Abuse, there were two things he didn't realise. One, that he might actually get the job and two, that it would involve working with magic sniffers.

 

And what an annoyance the creatures are. They keep him up at night, need to feed on expensive fresh fruit and cause him embarrassment.

 

A new inn opens in town and patrons flock to it. Perrin checks it out for forbidden magic, finds none but something doesn't add up. Is it the stranger, clearly a wizard, who makes little effort to cover up his illegal activities? Is it the owner of the new inn, who can't possibly have accumulated enough money to buy the place? Or is it the unfailingly raving reviews?

 

Something fishy is going on, and his boss at the Bureau doesn't even want him to investigate. But Perrin has never let that stop him.

Dragon Soup Reviews

3.5
“The audiobook annoyed me, but I only kept going because the plot was semi decent. 🤷🏼‍♀️”
“self published book and it feels like it. Too much repetition for such a small book. I was attracted by the book because of dragons (always go with dragons). I thought the story was interesting, a bit different. The main character is a bit annoying at the beginning but gets interesting around the end of the book or when he starts really investigating. It's cute but it could be better. And I know it has sequels but I am not that invested in the character to see how his story ends.”
