A review by ferencb
Dungeons & Drag Queens by M.P. Johnson
4.0
I received this book through a Goodreads giveaway.
That being said, I was fearful of this book. Don't have any drag queens around here, never met one, and while I don't judge them, I don't understand them either. So I was afraid I won't like this book because I won't understand the main character's motivation.
But there was so much blood, gore, and other biological secretions in this book, that the drag queen's character was the least of my problems.
Just to make things clear. I have never read a bizarro book before. That might explain why I was so shocked by this book. Shocked and amused. I might even say I liked this book, because of its witty humor and ironic style.
Not being a fan of the genre (didn't know there is such a genre) I can't give it five stars. Won't give less then four either, because I can't decide how good this book actually is, without proper comparison to other similar books.
PS: It's not a really tedious reading, so if you get your hands on it, read it. Especially if you haven't read this kind of fiction before (like me).

Spoiler
Not to mention the story. A drag queen, mistakenly considered a real queen, abducted to become the wife of a serpent-lord. Which eventually happens, and after some really-really (and I mean really) strange intercourse gets pregnant (in her wig!).
