⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 stars!

I would give Cat Dragon more than 5 stars if I could, I loved it and it was everything a cozy fantasy should be. It was the perfect read for a chilly Australian autumn weekend.

What I loved in particular:
- Littlewick 😺🐉 absolutely adorable
- Aloysia was such a likeable character, I loved that she thought that her being the hero was a mistake but she’d rather die in a spire than make a fuss about it.
- the side characters, wisecracking Crow and morally grey Lan were both great.
- the story was plotted incredibly well, there was a lot more action than you often find in a cozy fantasy including a fight with a magical mercenary and a genuine quest.
- The ending was perfect. I was so invested in the characters and the HEA was exactly what I wanted for them.
- clever references to lore and other stories, the witch hikers guide was a personal favourite.
- the romance, Hollis was a perfect match for Aloysia, I would have loved to see more of them.

I really hope that this is the start of a series set in Tangleroot.

Thank you to NetGalley and One More Chapter for the opportunity to read this ARC.
