#Review & #Giveaway of Dragon Princess by S. Andrew Swann #Thanks @NightOwlReviews

Frank Blackthorne's most recent heist did not end optimally. The sacrificial virgin survived, but the whole incident left Frank, a respectable career thief, on the run from a kingdom full of evil cultists eager to replace their sacrifice.

So, when the Court Wizard of Lendowyn, Elhared the Unwise, comes to him intending to hire someone to save Lendowyn’s princess from an evil dragon in return for riches, glory, and help with the bloodthirsty cultists problem, Frank is rightfully suspicious. Frank is also not in a position to refuse.

Perhaps unsurprisingly, Frank’s rescue fails—in an explosion of spectacularly misapplied magic. When the dust settles, all parties involved find themselves body-swapped. Frank is left stranded in the Princess Lucille’s body, halfway across the kingdom. The understandably angry Princess Lucille finds herself inhabiting the body of the dragon. In order to set things right, they will have to team up and face down thugs, slavers, elvish bookies, knights in shining armor, an evil Queen, and the hordes of the Dark Lord Nâtalc.

So this is one of those books that makes me think...What did I just read?  The cover caught my eye which is why I wanted to read it.  But, once I started reading it was just weird.  The story starts out with the main character running for his life from the Thief's Guild because he messed up a job where he was supposed to steal this scroll but ended up saving this virgin girl who was going to be sacrificed instead.  It seems that he returned her to her father but not before fixing the issue of her virginity.  Yup that is the first few pages of this one.

 It doesn't get much better from there.  Yes there are twists and turns.  A little mystery but all in all it just didn't set to well with me.  The characters and plot were great it was just the execution of the story.  The ending wasn't much better.  This one I would recommend to someone who can keep track of the jumble of thoughts going on in this one.
