Dragon Slippers by Jessica Day George

hellobookbird's review against another edition

It was my aunt who decided to give me to the dragon. Not that she was evil, or didn’t care for me. It’s just that we were very poor, and she was, as we said in those parts, dumber than two turnips in a rain barrel.

The start of this book reminded me of [b: Dealing with Dragons|150739|Dealing with Dragons (Enchanted Forest Chronicles, #1)|Patricia C. Wrede|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1385526967l/150739._SY75_.jpg|1178402]. While I wouldn't have been opposed to something similar, I was pleasantly surprised that the start was the only similarity.

Dragons, strong female lead, cute, creative, and a good read for a teen audience. Definitely what I needed!

How this book got a rating of 4.20, I'll never know. The whole book was very boring, up until last chapter or two. It is incredibly dull and I would not recommend it.

WHAT? Dost my eyes deceive me? AHH!! Nope, I'm not squealing right now. I didn't stay up until 11:30 reading this while my family watched Avengers. And I'm not swooning over Luka. Nope.

OK, so... This writing is AMAZING! It reminds me of my very favorite author, Shannon Hale, and it's just beautiful! I've always loved the "fairytale" books, and this one DID NOT disapoint. At first, I thought it might be 3 stars, maybe 4. But I had to go with 5 because of... everything! Ahh maybe I should wait longer until I review after I finish the book, when I'm calm... But anyway, I would highly recommend! One of my favorites.

Meh. The writing was good enough but the story started to bore me in the middle and dragged on after that. I don’t think the dragon/fair maiden genre is for me.

So so sweet and one of the strongest from this author. Went on to read the whole series and enjoyed it! Proper modern children's fantasy.

What a fun and enjoyable book. I loved it from start to finish. It had everything done perfectly. I loved the characters and the plot and the writing. Jessica Day George is definitely one of my favorite authors of all time. She never fails to entertain me. I can't wait until I have children of my own so they can read it. I can't think of a single thing I didn't like about it.

This was such a fun book! From the first sentence I was hooked. The story moved well, kept the suspense and anticipation high, had some battles, a little bit of love and some mystery. I had a great time reading this book.

Adorable. An easy read, but still intelligent and funny. I loved the tone of this book, it reminds me of Cimorene's adventures with dragons that were not what she expected. Creel is quick and smart and doesn't just shoot around and wail when bad things happen.
