A review by paradoxically
Dragon Slippers by Jessica Day George
3.0
This was cute. Not really much other than that, though I did find it enjoyable to read.
Creel's aunt tells her to go get herself kidnapped by a dragon so that a knight (or someone else suitable) will rescue and have to marry her. Creel, understandably, does not enjoy the idea and instead bargains with the dragon to let her leave with a pair of slippers from the dragon's hoard. She then makes her way to the king's city, where she's determined to become a dressmaker. Along the way she meets a couple more dragons, a couple princes, a horrid princess, and a conspiracy that threatens not only the kingdom, but the dragons as well.
The main character is determined and is rather decent all around. Granted, it frustrated me when there was obviously something special about her slippers and she only found out about them when it was too late, but it wasn't entirely her fault.
There are no real twists to the plot. Or, rather, it's all fairly typical, though a rather feel good book. It's decent. Not particularly awe inspiring, but a quick pleasure to read. 3 stars.
