De: S. Usher Evans

Narrado por: Deborah Balm

Warm beds, quaint mysteries, and the best rosemary bread this side of Pigsend Creek. Welcome to the Weary Dragon Inn. Bev may not know who she was before she showed up in the quaint village of Pigsend five years ago, but that doesn’t bother her much. She’s made a tidy little life for herself as the proprietor of the Weary Dragon Inn, where the most notable event is when she makes her famous rosemary bread.

But when earthquakes and sinkholes start appearing all over town, including near Bev’s front door, she’s got to put on her sleuthing hat to figure out what—or who—might be causing them before the entire town disappears.

Great cozy fantasy with some pleasant surprises and representation

I love the cozy fantasy genre, and this series kept popping up in my recs. I’m glad I took a chance on it. It’s very low stakes, but includes some quaint mysteries. The characters really start to grow on you. The pacing is a little slow, but give it a shot and you’ll get more used to it, and enjoy being immersed in the world of Pig’s End.

ALSO…What a pleasant surprise that this story features not one, but TWO queer characters that are integral to the story. It’s not done in an “in your face way”, and was almost so subtle that it took me a few chapters to realize that these were two women married…to each other. It’s done in a very refreshing way. It’s not about them being gay, it’s about them being human like everyone else (what a concept!). Nobody bats an eye, and it just is.

Give this one a chance if cozy fantasy is your jam.

Comfort and entertainment

Beautiful written and well read. Low stakes but keeps you committed until the end. The world created is comforting and a little magical. Can’t wait for more!

Cozy quick fantasy read

This is a cute trilogy, that is cozy and high fantasy enough to keep your interest. It is definitely low stakes and more of a chill read than most books. I appreciate it for what it is which is cute and cozy!

Story flowing despite not being action-packed

I enjoyed the small town, quirky characters, and stories. The mysteries were fun! Will continue.

Cozy listening

A good cozy listen. Made for adults but could listen with kids as well. Pacing is fairly good overall, though the 3rd book was a bit tedious though due more to the limitations of the setting (snowed in). When I need a palate cleanser I'll continue this series.

cozy fantasy mysteries

This is a wonderful series with charming and inclusive characters. I had so much fun discovering the mysterious happenings in the village of Pigs End with the caring, clever inn keeper Bev while learning more about her forgotten past! I immediately got the next three books in the series I'm so excited to in this world!

Delightful Tale of Magic and Surprise

I never guessed the true culprit in any of the stories. I can’t wait for more in this series.

fun adventure

so far it's a mystery of a whole group of people stuck in a snowed in inn

Lots of surprises

Just when you think you have it figured out, it turns out to be something else! Definitely keeps you on your toes in trying to figure out who the culprit is. Then there’s the ever slow going discovery of Bev’s past. Just glimpses but enough to know it was something major.

The narrator is hard to follow.

I’m not sure if it’s the story or the narrator, but this is a boring book where it is hard to get excited about the plot and the characters. I do believe the real problem is the narrator. Her pronunciation is problematic and hard to follow. It makes me appreciate all the other books. I’ve listened to because of those narrators. I just give up and won’t even finish this book.
