Such a cozy, cute, and fun read!!! I didn’t realize this was the second book in the series till after I received it and started to read it. However, I did not go back and read book one and still very much enjoyed it. I look forward to reading more by this author.

I absolutely loved this book! It has all the cute, cozy vibes and I really related to the FMC in this book of the series especially. (She’s a curvy girl who loves to read, loves sunflowers, has a tendency towards being a people-pleaser… AND then she bonds with a baby dragon!) I started with this book, which is the 2nd book in the Adenashire series, and while they CAN be read as standalones, I do think it’s best to read them in order. No major spoilers, but there’s definitely some character development from book 1 that I’ll already be aware of when I get around to reading that one. I’m definitely looking forward to continuing this series!!

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for allowing me to read this book before publication.

I absolutely adore this series! It's so cute and wholesome. Dragon Evvy has my heart <33333
The relationship felt a bit insta-lovey but it was cute nonetheless. Will definitely continue this series!

I requested this title because I had liked the first one and this one was cute however maybe because of the first one my standard was set a bit high and this did not hit me that well. Still fun and cosy with themes like found family, magic and a bit of romance.

Stepping back into Adenashire felt like coming home. In this delightful sequel, we follow Doli Butterbuckle- a sunshine-hearted dwarf with tea magic - as she unexpectedly inherits a dragon egg and finds herself at the heart of a sweet, magical adventure. With a charming gargoyle, misbehaving dragon, and a journey of self-discovery, Doli’s story is a cozy blend of friendship, gentle romance, and personal growth.

The romance with Sarson is soft and swoon-worthy (he’s a literal dreamboat with wings), and Doli herself is the kind of character who makes you feel safe and seen. Her struggles with people-pleasing and finding her voice were beautifully written and deeply relatable.

With its comforting tone, enchanting world, and loveable cast of characters, this book is a must-read for cozy fantasy fans. While I recommend starting with A Fellowship of Bakers and Magic for the full experience, Librarians and Dragons holds its own as a heartwarming tale full of magic, tea, and found family.

This one just didn't get me hooked for some reason. It could have been the writing style or something else, but I just couldn't get through it.

This book was a delight and this series has captured my heart. I didn’t love it quite as much as book one. But it was still a perfect cozy fantasy.

I absolutely adore this world and couldn’t have been happier to be back. Not only was it cool to see how Arleta and Theo were getting along but to see where Doli was heading next. And her story did not disappoint. The addition of Sarson was perfect and Evvy was the cutest dragon.

The plot in the second book moved a lot quicker than the first which I greatly appreciated and it helped me get into the story more.

At times I did find myself cringing a little at the way Doli was articulating her thoughts, and although I LOVED Doli and Sarson the moment they confessed they liked each other was a bit too much for me. But they are super cute so all is forgiven.

This is cute and I liked it fine. It was definitely cozy but a tad too quirky for me. By the time I got to the end I was kind of over it and not invested in the ending.

Another delightful entry in the Adenashire series. This time we are following Doli Butterbuckle as she settles into her life in Adenashire and has to come to terms with her needs and wants, the life she has left behind, her blood and found family, unexpected love and what the future holds. And yes. There are dragons!

I felt enormous kinship with Doli, and I think a lot of people will relate to her or know someone like her. It was empowering and heartwarming to follow her on this journey of self discovery and finding her voice. The ending absolutely got me and left me an emotional wreck (in the best possible way).

For me, this was a step up from book one, Doli was a much more interesting character to follow than Arleta (although I absolutely love the entire cast of characters) and the romance had a lot of chemistry that I didn't feel between Arleta and Theo. If you are on the fence about reading this series, I would say at least pick up this installment. Most events from book one will get referenced and explained (although of course you will get spoiled for it), so you won't be left without context. And now I cannot wait to pick up book three and follow Jez's story.

Thank you to NetGalley for providing me an ARC of this book for an honest review. All opinions are my own.

I adored the first novel in this series, and while I did not like this one quite as much, it was still a very fun read! While the last novel followed Arleta and Theo, this novel follows Arleta's friend Doli as she inherits a dragon egg and accidentally becomes a dragon mom while discovering feelings for her new gargoyle neighbor, Sarson.

I adored the little dragon Evvie and all of Doli's scenes with her. Evvie's love for pastries and cute little cat-like vibes were so sweet and cute! I also liked Doli and Sarson's dynamic, but felt like Sarson wasn't quite fleshed out enough compared to Doli.

It was wonderful to get a look into Doli's mind and how she ticks, and I'm looking forward to reading the next book, which follows Jez!

2.5⭐️ I love lots of cosy fantasy and this just didn’t hit for me, I felt the writing was quite clunky and this took me almost a month to read as I wasn’t interested in picking it back up. I did like lots of the characters including Doli and her relationship with her friends and her little pet but I just wasn’t sold on the story or the stakes (which were so low until right at the end).

🌟 Rating: 4/5 stars
✨ A Fellowship of Librarians and Dragons is pure, cozy fantasy escapism in the best way possible. If you love magical libraries, dragons with personalities, and a bookish band of misfits who actually read, then this is your next comfort read.

📚 A group of librarians tasked with protecting magical knowledge, navigating dangerous scrolls, forbidden books, and of course, dragons who’d rather nap than fight (unless books are threatened). It blends adventure and whimsy with soft humor and heart.

🐉 The worldbuilding is charming without being overbearing, and the pacing is light—perfect for fans of Legends & Lattes or The House in the Cerulean Sea. It reads like a love letter to fantasy readers and librarians alike.

🧙‍♀️ My only minor gripe? I wanted a bit more tension or stakes in the middle section, but the lovable cast and witty dialogue more than made up for it.

If you’re looking for a story that feels like a warm mug of tea in a dragon-sized library chair, this is it. Highly recommend for fans of cozy fantasy, found families, and literary magic.

I love this authors ability to write the coziest fantasy stories ever! I loved Doli from the first book and this book follows her and her newly inherited dragon as they try to figure out life in Adenashire together. There are a few new characters as well which is great, and some old faces from the first book. The author uses all your senses - describing the baked goods, the characters, the world - Adenashire is such an incredible place to visit and I can’t wait to read the next one! I feel like they just get better each book!

Thank you NetGalley for the advanced electronic copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

**This is book 2 in a series!**

"Spilling the tea has never been so cozy…

This book is about "A charming gargoyle harboring a secret strolls into Doli Butterbuckle's life, a people-pleasing sunshine dwarf, who is content with her simple tea magic and circle of friends."

When I asked for this one, I must have overlooked it was book two, so i went to find book one. I enjoyed all the characters, especially the dragon, and look forward to continuing on is this series!

Thank you to the author, publisher, and Netgalley for this arc in exchange for a review!

This is the second book in this magical cozy fantasy series set in Adenashire.

Following on from the first book, we follow Doli Butterbuckle, a dwarf who works in a bookstore and dabbles in tea magic. Until one day, she receives an inheritance box and finds a little pink egg… a dragon egg. Little does she know, that things are about to get a little more chaotic.

Unfortunately, this book just didn’t hit for me. The author writes in a “tell” rather than “show” style, which gives the book an overall childish style of writing. Despite this, I really enjoyed the characters, and the mix of magical creatures that are throughout this book. This book really does take cozy fantasy to a new level, and is almost horizontal and asleep. So if you are looking for an easy calming read, then this is definitely the book to go for.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publishers for giving me an eARC in exchange for an honest review.

A Fellowship of Librarians & Dragons, the second in the Adenashire series, was a cute story about Doli, who ends up having a dragon egg to care for...and subsequently, a dragon! This was a cute fantasy book, that will charm the pants off any reader who is looking for a fun and whimsical story to get lost in. Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for an advance copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.

Thank you Net Galley and publishers for letting me read an arc of this book in return for an honest review.

Another cozy story in the world of Adenashire. We got to learn more about the always cheerful Doli. I enjoyed this one more than the first. It was a really easy read and the writing didn't feel as forced. Some of the story still went a little fast but it was enjoyable. I'm excited to read more about the next character in this friend group. Just an overall cozy and quick read.

This book is like cinnamon-spice tea on a rainy day, comforting, warm, and with just enough magic to make you believe again.
A slice-of-life fantasy that quietly slips into your heart and refuses to leave.

“Why can’t sunshine and tea be enough to make a hero?”

Let’s get this out of the way first: A Fellowship of Librarians and Dragons is not about world-shaking battles or kings falling from thrones. This is not The Way of Kings. This is not The Poppy War. This is not a book built on grit and gore. What it is, and what it does better than most fantasy books I’ve read this year, is make you care.

It is, in every sense, a cozy epic.

This story follows Doli Butterbuckle, a tea-conjuring dwarf who would rather bake cookies than wield a warhammer. She’s fled her judgmental past in Dundes Heights and found comfort and kinship among a chaotic, loveable crew of bookish misfits, including her snarky best friend Jez (a no-nonsense fennec), a soft-hearted orc, a mysterious gargoyle with a wingspan that deserves its own subplot, and an inherited dragon egg that quietly threatens to upend her life.

And it’s that egg, pink, cracked, and full of secrets, that launches Doli into a reluctant journey of self-worth, identity, and, yes, maybe even heroism.

“I don’t want a dragon that I might accidentally kill if it eats the wrong cookie.”

Penner’s writing is whimsical without being twee, heartfelt without being heavy, and threaded with clever wit. Think Legends & Lattes meets Howl’s Moving Castle with a dash of Terry Pratchett's social sharpness. The prose is delightful, playful, emotional, and always aware of its own genre while still leaning into its sincerity. The pacing is gentle, but not meandering. You don’t feel like you're waiting for something to happen. You’re just content to be here, in this world, with these characters.

What truly elevates this book is the depth beneath the charm. Doli’s sunny disposition isn’t just a personality quirk; it’s armor. And as cracks begin to show in her cheerful façade, the emotional resonance becomes painfully real. This book touches on anxiety, people-pleasing, generational pressure, and the quiet pain of being underestimated by the people who should love you the most. And yet, it never loses its heart.

There’s also a gentle thread of found family that reminded me of Legends & Lattes but with more heartache beneath the surface. Verdreth and Ervash, the orc dads. Jez, the protective but emotionally avoidant friend. Sarson, the gargoyle who might be the softest brick wall in fantasy. You come for the tea magic. You stay for the people.

“Maybe… just maybe, the world doesn’t need more warriors. Maybe it needs more warmth.”

If you’re someone who enjoys high-stakes dragon lore wrapped in low-stakes emotional vulnerability, this book is a gem. It’s not about saving the world; it’s about finding your place in it. It’s about what it means to show up, even when you’re scared, and how sometimes, courage looks like baking cookies during a crisis.

In one quick paragraph, A Fellowship of Librarians and Dragons is a comfort read, but one that earns every tender, teary moment. I laughed. I might have had an eye rub here or there. I genuinely wished I could pull up a chair in Doli’s apartment and sip some magical tea.

Highly recommended for fans of cozy fantasy, strong friendships, and stories where kindness is a form of rebellion.

In the super cozy, magical village of Adenashire, Doli Butterbuckle—a cheerful, tea-magic-wielding dwarf—is content with her quiet life and close-knit circle of friends. But when her well-meaning (and overbearing) parents arrive with a family heirloom in the form of a dragon egg, everything changes.

Soon, Doli is chasing after a mischievous (and perpetually hungry) baby dragon, navigating family expectations, unraveling a sinister plot, and falling for a charming gargoyle with secrets of his own. With the help of her loyal friends and a newfound inner spark, Doli embarks on a heartwarming journey of self-discovery and quiet courage.

A Fellowship of Librarians & Dragons is a G-rated, whimsical, low-stakes, feel-good fantasy full of tenderness, tea, magic, and one extremely lovable baby dragon. I highly recommend it for fans of The Spellshop and Legends & Lattes!
