Review

As far as young adult fantasies go, Henrietta The Dragon Slayer is a good read that I think any age, teen to adult, would enjoy. I only hope a sequel is in the works! --LunaMoth

The witty dialogue and good story line makes this book hard to put down. I really could not stop reading it and was really tired the next day. It's also very satisfying to read about a girl heroine fighting the good fight. --Jeri, on Amazon

Beth Barany, best known for strong heroines in her stories, created a tale of righteousness, magic and overcoming adversity. --Robert Mendak "RJ"

The book is a beautiful story about friendship, a heroine, and a quest to kill a dragon. Who wouldn't be excited? --Brittany, from Goodreads

Beth Barany has made a world where unlikely friendships rule and being a friend means more than you can know. --Tami, from Goodreads

5.0 out of 5 stars Henrietta, The Dragon Slayer, 25 Feb 2011
By LunaMoth - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Henrietta The Dragon Slayer (The Five Kingdoms #1) (Kindle Edition)
Henrietta the dragon slayer is a charming book set in a fantasy world. Henrietta has slayed many dragons in her short life and has resigned not to take any more jobs, but when a pushy knight named Franc implores her to follow him to his lands and slay Mimoto the dragon she hesitates, until she learns her mentor, Master Chen is sick and only the Dragonitas from Mimoto can save him does she embark on her quest.

The cast of Henrietta, The dragon slayer consists of Henrietta, the firey warrior woman with a sharp tongue and stubborn attitude. The stoic and harsh knight Framc, Jaxter the jester and a witch-girl Paulette. Unlikely traveling companions, they mesh well and no personalities comflict with anothers. Each person has a distinct personality and I found myself really likeing them all.

As far as writing goes, Henrietta The Dragon Slayer is fluid, easy to read and reads well. There is no swearing and no sexual content, there is a little action but no bloodfests. Though it says 'dragon slayer' in the title, you wont see Henrietta fighting any, we hear of her exploits in Jaxters tales only. The world in which they reside is not explained in great detail but I did not mind this so much, Barany did not hamper the writing with telling about every single rock and tree the companions come across.

As far as young adult fantasies go, Henrietta, The Dragon Slayer is a good read that I think any age, teen to adult, would enjoy. I only hope a sequel is in the works!

5.0 out of 5 stars Recommended Reading, 7 Mar 2011
By Jeri - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Henrietta The Dragon Slayer (The Five Kingdoms #1) (Kindle Edition)
Henrietta the Dragon Slayer is a magical fantasy novel with complex, well-rounded characters having adventures while dealing with their real life personality issues. Even though Henrietta has a great reputation as a great Dragon Slayer, she discovers a pacifist streak that makes her previous lifestyle difficult to continue. The witty dialogue and good story line makes this book hard to put down. I really could not stop reading it and was really tired the next day. (I never read fiction during the week - oops!) It's also very satisfying to read about a girl heroine fighting the good fight.

5.0 out of 5 stars A pleasant find: YA will appeal to readers of all ages, 16 Jan 2012
By Laura Dobbins "fearless74" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Henrietta The Dragon Slayer (Paperback)
When I first starting reading this book I didn't believe it would hold my interest but the copy was beautifully proofed, the story well laid out and the writing a zestful pleasure. I would suggest you give this book a try even if YA or fantasy fiction isn't your taste. The story will hold your interest and you'll find yourself drawn to the characters.

The tale is about Henrietta, the legendary Dragon Slayer of the Kingdom of Bleuve, who can't stomach the thought of one more kill. Yet, in order to save her dying mentor, she must go on one last quest. Will her encounter with misfit companions and an egomaniacal king prevent her from reaching the end of her journey?

Read to find out, you'll be delightfully pleased.Henrietta The Dragon Slayer
