From the title, I assumed (which you should never do I know) that there would be epic battles in this story. The first being that there wasn't very much dragon slaying action. There were only a few things that kept this book from being on my list of absolute favorites. Best of all, each character is explained enough to feel as though you know them, without being overly done. The interactions between them are fun to read, and they each bring a little bit of their expertise in various areas to the story. I enjoyed that Barany allowed them to each be so different. From a knight with an acidic attitude, to a court jester who just wants to tag along for the stories to tell, they are an amazing group of people. I'm smitten with her.Īlong with Henrietta, we meet her motley crew of adventurers. That is, until she is swept off on another epic adventure! Henrietta was a breath of fresh air in a sea of whiny female characters. On top of that, despite her renown as a dragon slayer, Henrietta can't stomach the thought of another kill. Henrietta isn't the type to back down from a fight, but she also won't go looking for them either. I need to start this review by saying that I absolutely adore Henrietta's character! Thank you to Beth Barany for writing such a spitfire and strong female character.
