I truly love this book. There are a few things that annoy me about it, but the way the plot twists together is so wonderful that I love it.
The main character is great, too.
So. Dragons. I haven't posted any reviews on dragon books yet, so y'all don't know how much I love them. DRAGONS!!! DRAGONS!!! DRAGONS!!!
So, yeah. Probably my favorite mythical creature. If they were real, I would have one. And love it. And call it mine.
In a lot of books, dragons are portrayed as regal, though somewhat arrogant and annoying, pompous jerks. I love this book, because it's completely different! The dragons are completely personable, each having a unique personality and type of collection. Each collection reflects the dragons' personality.
Whether dogs, tapestries, books, or stained glass windows, each dragon is so awesome and I love them!
But then, there are a few faults. The writing and some of the personalities are somewhat... cliché, I guess? It's annoying. I don't know how else to describe it.
Well:
Dragon Slippers is a clever, beautifully woven tale of dragons and dressmakers with humorous writing and great characters.
