I'm not crazy about dragon stories. Frankly it was a miracle I made it through the Eragon series. But with Slayers, I think I've discovered a new favorite author. The characters are exceptionally likable with realistic motivation. The dialogue and narrator's voice is filled with dry humor that makes me embarrass myself in public. (I laugh... just in case you were thinking I wet myself.) And the supernatural aspects of the story are presented in an understated way that makes them seem almost real. Now for the girly stuff. Being a self-proclaimed romance phobe, I usually roll my eyes at teenage "passion." But since Tori is decidedly not one of those irrational schizophrenic types, and the love interests are ultra not-boring and are three-dimensional to boot, I found myself giggling like a Twihard. I've already purchased book 2, so if I don't answer my phone or email, you'll know why. I really liked this books. It was kinda like princess meets tomboy and then turns into a super bad ass dragon slayer. What I didn't like was how at the end there was a total love interest change. Like it was so hard to follow who is the main love interest. Yeah that may be annoying at times but supper interesting. Plus this book was super funny especially when she went to go get extensions because he hair go burned a little. Pure gold especially her sister. Every time she was in a passage I ended up shaking my head or cracking up. So all in all I totally recommend this book.
this book was good and one that you couldn't put down! I can't wait to read the next one!
