Some of them hoard shoes and others go as far as hoarding live dogs. They don't hoard the typical treasure you read about in other stories such as gold and jewels. Jessica Day George puts a different spin on her dragons, which I found fascinating. There are also tons of dragons in the story! He treats everyone with respect, and I think he would make a better king than his brother.

He is really nice and doesn't care where you are from or what your status may be.

Luka is the brother to the crown prince and is also a very likable character. There are other characters as well including Marta, who becomes Creel's best friend, as well as Luka. I believe that she would make a great role model for any child. I loved that she followed her dream of working in the king's city and that she helps to fix what she wronged. I really liked her as the main character and thought she developed very well throughout the novel. Additionally, she is also a very talented embroider. These include having a mean seamstress as a boss, dealing with a rude princess as a client, falling for a prince, befriending dragons, and saving the dragons and her people. She handles herself very well in all the various situations she is put into. She is a strong, courageous, vibrant, kind, and likable character.

In Dragon Slippers, Creel is the protagonist. It is not as good as Wrede's series, but definitely an incredible story! I can say that the first book, Dragon Slippers, lived up to my expectations. I loved Wrede's series so much that reading another series about dragons and a young girl as protagonist was very intriguing. Once I read a summary of the first book I decided to give it a try. After being recommended to read Dragon Slippers on Goodreads I decided to look further into the series. One such series I read awhile ago was The Enchanted Forest Chronicles by Patricia C. There are not many fantasy novels that have a female as a strong lead character. But Creel learns that these shoes could be used to save her kingdom from the brink of war-or destroy it.ĭon't miss these other stories from New York Times bestselling author Jessica Day George: After all, nobody has seen a dragon in centuries.īut when the beast actually appears, Creel not only bargains with him for her life, she also ends up with a rare bit of treasure from his hoard: a pair of simple blue slippers, or so she thinks.
