Handbook for Dragon Slayers by Merrie Haskell

4.0

Handbook for Dragon Slayers follows Princess Tilda as she struggles to come to terms with her crippled foot and her role as princess of Alder Brook. Author Merrie Haskell paints Tilda with a sympathetic hand so that the reader understands Tilda's frustrations without getting to annoyed at the princess' faults. I enjoyed watching Tilda grow into a more mature character as the story progressed, I was pleasantly surprised by the story's themes of responsibility and duty, and I appreciated the story's use of Medieval government and olde faerie lore. On the whole, Handbook for Dragon Slayers is a fun and easy summer read for Medieval fantasy lovers.
