Description
She thought she'd won a pig... but this wasn't that kind of lottery...
From bestselling author Josephine Angelini comes a delightful cozy fantasy read about magic, courage, and the power of an unlikely alliance. Perfect for fans of Olivia Atwater and Travis Baldree.
Jonara had been a good girl her entire life, and that’s what nearly gets her killed. Being the only virgin for miles made her the perfect candidate for a sacrifice to the village dragon. But lucky for Jonara, this dragon is different, off virgins entirely, opting for a pescatarian diet instead.
Being the resourceful young woman that she is, Jonara uses the opportunity to enlist the dragon’s help in her quest to defeat Asphodel, an evil sorcerer who has decimated town after town in his march south to claim the throne vacated by the newly dead king.
With the help of her dragon, Jonara gathers an army against Asphodel and his dark forces. But this dragon has a secret, one which holds the key to their success. And like with most things in Lucitopia, it also comes at a price, one which Jonara may be unwilling to pay.

This had everything that I was looking for in a cozy fantasy novel, it had that magical element that I was expecting and was thoroughly engaged with the world and characters. I thought the use of dragons worked overall and was engaged with what was happening overall. I enjoyed the way the characters were written and how they worked with the plot of the book. It does everything taht was promised and enjoyed how good Josephine Angelini wrote this.
While this felt higher stakes than the previous novel (novella?) in the series, the writing still manages a cozy vibe.
My only complaint is that I would love more from this story and these characters. Longer would not be amiss, though it did manage to be a complete story as is.
I think that the word cute sums up this book.
Its definitely a fun, light and entertaining story and just cozy writing in general.
I loved that this book brought up sexism and proves that women are just as worthy!
My only issue was that i felt a bit disconnected when it came to the characters. I don't know if maybe i would have had more time to connecting with them if the story was a bit longer and less rushed?
Regardless of that i enjoyed reading this a lot.
Thank you Netgalley for this eARC in exchange of an honest review.
A heartwarming tale of a girl and a dragon!
The main female character was very agreeable, I loved her! I also loved the dragon who I found sweet. The story is very cozy and a read that I finished in one sitting! It's perfect for dragon lovers and fairytale lovers. I cannot wait to read more books by Josephine!
Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for granting me free access to the advanced digital copy of this book.

4.25 stars
This series is my type of cozy fantasy. There are a lot of things going on but also feels like a bedtime story. I really liked this story. The dragon and the tinker's daughter are just perfect. Jonara is my favorite type of FMC. She is brilliant, strong, and stubborn. She cares and understands the people around her. I can’t wait to see what the next story will be in this series.
I highly recommend it!
This book was purely delightful. It hooked me from the very beginning with a gentle, fun humor that never stopped, and then grew from a cute little story into a gorgeous, interesting fairy tale with a very late twist I was NOT expecting!
The story was fast paced without seeming chaotic, and let me grow to like the characters as I went along. Overall, anyone who wants a cozy, fun little romantasy read will vastly enjoy this.
I absolutely loved The Tinker's Daughter and I'll definitely re-read this book eagerly! 💛💫
The concept of the story, characters, world building and magic made this book an utter delight to read, the connection between the 2 main characters had my heart all fluttery multiple times throughout the book. I laughed, felt heartbroken and had no idea the speed I was flying through this book. I was in a reading slump before this and this book cured it 🥳 ..it wasn't absolutely perfect but I loved it all the same and it is a story that will stay with me for a long time and will have many more reads from me to come 🥰
I enjoyed it so much I'm going to go on a reading spree of the author's other works and I have also pre-ordered a hard copy for my book collection! Thankyou to the author Josephine Angelini, Netgalley and the publisher for letting me read and review this wonderful story in advance 😊
Thank you to NetGalley for providing me this e-ARC in exchange for a review.
Jonara, the tinker’s daughter, is “sacrificed” to a dragon by residents of her village afraid of his wrath. The dragon prefers fish to human flesh and joins Jonara in a quest to save Lucitopia from the clutches of the evil Asphodel.
This is a delightful cozy fantasy filled with humor and whimsy. I enjoyed my time in Lucitopia with the characters and would read more books in this series.
This was so much fun! More on the cozy side of fantasy rather than your usual high-stakes story.
Jonara, the tinker’s daughter, is told she’s won the lottery in her village! Assuming that she’s won a pig, she gladly accepts- only to learn that the prize for this lottery is actually being the Virgin sacrifice to a dragon.
But this dragon isn’t actually what he seems, and she learns that her dragon can’t even remember his own name, as it was stolen by the evil wizard Asphodel. It’s up to Jonara, Dragon, and their ragtag army to knock this magical foe down!
The Tinker’s Daughter is filled with laughs and adventure! Thank you to Netgalley and Sungrazer Publishing for this copy in exchange for my review!
Thank you to NetGalley, the author Josephine Angelini, and the publisher for providing the early copy for me to review. All opinions expressed are my own.
This book was adorable! It was marketed as “cozy” fantasy but I’d consider it more “fairytale” fantasy as the stakes were higher than I prefer for a cozy read. I went into the book blind and had no idea it was part of a series so the plot twist was a bit surprising but it made sense. The FMC was hilarious and outspoken. She reminded me a bit of Evie from Assistant to the Villain and I adore them both. The Dragon was also so ridiculously cute! I was laughing and highlighting only a couple of pages in!
This book wasn’t a 4 course meal, It was dessert. Not a fancy dessert either. It was like a warm chocolate chip cookie or a slice of your favorite cake. It makes you smile and feel nostalgic. I love that feeling so it’s a 5 star read for me. It’s a perfect book to read between your heavy high stakes fantasy series, or to read on a relaxing weekend!
This book is sensational!!! Such a cool story and the characters are immaculate! I rated it 5 stars because it really is that good. I recommend everyone to read this book as fast as they can.
Such a lovely cozy fantasy read! Perfect for cooler months where you just want a cup of tea and a lovely book! Love books that become gorgeous fairytales! And this was it!
Thank you to NetGallery for this awesome book! I love it! The world is so cozy. It's a fairytale. The Virgin Sacrifice trope is always good, especially with Dragons! It kind of reminds me of How to Train Your Dragon. The romance is relatively mild. It's non-explicit. I am obsessed with the plot twist and I'm definitely reading the rest of the series.
