The Chimera Carnival is approaching, and it’s one of the few occasions when dragons from all over the world gather in one place. However, dragons have been disappearing and not showing up as expected. Meanwhile, Beetle is undergoing her goblin transformation, and her girlfriend, Kat, is facing relationship issues with her parents. It’s up to Beetle and Kat to investigate the disappearances and find the missing dragons.

I really loved the plot! A lot was happening, but it was easy to follow. My favorite character was Beetle, who had a bubbly and outgoing personality. I also thought Kat was gorgeous. Additionally, they had a cute little ghost company called Penny, which I found adorable. There are many more characters in the cast for you to discover.
The artwork was spectacular and vibrant.
Overall, I highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a fun fantasy graphic novel!

My rating
