This isn’t your daddy’s dragon slayer story. Just so you know. I think it is best to be up front about these things, don’t you? Yolen’s tale concerns a town in fantasy England that finds itself under siege from a dragon, after all the dragons are supposed to be dead...
There was nothing I truly loved about this graphic novel only things I liked. I enjoyed the art work which was very different then most graphic novel art. I liked the story especially the switch in who the true hero ended up being but was not fond of the dialogue. I liked the fairy tale feel to...
Huh.The artwork is beautiful, if a little uneven. I liked how each story had its own style of art, but panel to panel it's not very consistent (i.e. one will be photographic and then the next will still show sketch lines; the line thickness varies a lot), which is odd, I think, for a graphic novel. ...
The Last Dragon starts much like a traditional fairy tale, with a dragon and a hero to slay it. It diverges from tradition when the hero teams up with a strong woman to defeat the dragon in a truly unconventional way. The story becomes much more compelling, with a much more believably happy ending f...
The story begins when an angel falls to earth. A passing group of fairies decide to hold a tribunal to decide his fate, telling stories to illuminate the nature of angels. Each story is written by a different author, but illustrated by the same artist. That's what really surprised me, that the same ...
excellent readalike for Daughter of Smoke and Bone! (take note, Rebecca...)A high point was the artistic shift in the story about the souls, especially the lettering! All of Guay's art is gorgeous.
The last dragon emerges from its egg, wreaking havoc on a the inhabitants of a small town. A young girl is forced to grow up faster than expected when her father disappears. A man who plays "hero" is forced to follow through on his promise. A more mature tale than I was expecting from Yolen, a fe...
This was a lovely book with lush language and illustrations that were even more lush. This is a fairy tale about a land that fought and killed dragons and then forgot about them. Many generations later the last dragon hatches and wreaks havoc on the unprepared and unsuspecting populace. It is left t...
The small town of Meddlesome finds itself under attack by a dragon. It's up to the daughter of a healer and a kite-flier trying to pass off as a hero, to save the day. A simple, charming tale accompanied by some spectacular illustrations.
I requested this because I thought the cover was beautiful and thankfully this isn’t one of those graphic novels where the cover is the best thing about it. The illustrations through the book were gorgeous and had a old world fantasy feel to them, and I actually took the time to study them. I kind o...
