Loading... Dragon Slippersby Jessica Day George
Dragons  romsfuulynn | Apr 28, 2013 |  fantasy romsfuulynn | Apr 28, 2013 | What an absolute delight this book was. Charming and fresh for all that it's yet another tale of a poor girl and a dragon- oh, and there's a prince involved. Some of the conceits are just hilarious, especially around the dragons' hoards. The characters are lovable and the situations strain one's credulity in a comfortable fashion. The heroine is one of my favorite plucky young girls, and her clever ideas go a long way towards excusing her ignorance about her own slippers. Highly recommended. (  ) satyridae | Apr 5, 2013 | I’d read George’s re-telling of “East of the Sun, West of the Moon” awhile back, and this was on my TBR list. I enjoyed it a lot–a sweet interesting story. The writing seemed geared more for upper middle school, lower high school, but I thought it was good. [Oct. 2009] (  ) maureene87 | Apr 4, 2013 | I loved this. it reminded me of the enchanted forest chronicles in some ways. fun, entertaining, but with a message and emotion tied in. the main character, creel, isn't perfect, but is likeable and sympathetic. the story is entertaining and draws you in (I started and finished today).

 Some secondary characters are rather flat and stereotypical, and a lot of details are tied up too neatly and quickly at the conclusion, but the plot is sound and well written. The plot elements are sometimes awkwardly stitched together, but the exciting, fairy-tale action and vivid scenes, from glittering dragon cave to posh dress shop, are captivating. Not entirely original, but clever, well-plotted and good fun.
