A review by ladilira
Dragonfly by Resa Nelson

5.0

I wasn’t sure what to expect when I began reading this book. I had never heard of Nelson, but the content of the story sounded like it might be up my alley so I took a chance. Plus, her past work appeared promising, which never hurts.

This story was wonderful! My only sadness is that it ended on a cliffhanger and the second has yet to come out. However, I decided to remedy my waiting affliction and bought the other related series titled The Dragonslayer’s Sword (Book 1) of The Dragonslayer’s Series. I’ve already started reading it and already loving it.

What can I say about this story? It was well-written, well-edited, the characters were nicely developed. Greeta, or aka Dragonfly is a likeable enough character. She suffers from low self-esteem and feeling like she doesn’t belong. Her journey is one in which she must learn to accept herself for who she is and to understand who her real friends and family are. Her journey is a relatable one, so many of us are going through this right now. I loved the native tribal versus viking-ish teams and how different they were from each other. Greeta has one foot in each group and I felt it made her all the more appealing and interesting to follow.

I whipped through this story and am hungry for more. I recommend this story to any fantasy or dragon fans out there. It is a fun read that also has deep roots. Nelson has earned my praise and I will be sure to read more from her.
