![]() ![]() We’re going to need to write some kind of monster manual so I can keep all this stuff straight. There’s even a delightful little nod to D&D: There’s plenty of old-school D&D-style questing and fighting, which is all well and good, but it’s Lemming’s signature irreverence that makes the fantasy plot enjoyable. The plot involves a lich everyone thinks is a goddess, and Cin agrees to help Fallon destroy her. ![]() She comes from a family of spice merchants (another wink to the intended audience), and it turns out that cinnamon repels demons, more or less, though Cin herself clearly attracts Fallon (the demon) from the get-go. ![]() The story begins, not surprisingly, with the protagonist, Cinnamon Hotpepper (even the names are funny) accidentally saving a demon during a night of debauchery. But if you want “fantasy that fucks,” as Lemming’s author catchphrase puts it, you’ve come to the right place. If you’re looking for deep lore and wildly innovative fantasy elements, look elsewhere. The title lets you know right away what you’re in for, and That Time I Got Drunk and Saved a Demon delivers the promised goods in this playful fantasy romance perfect for the beach or the couch. ![]()
