Publisher's summary

This enchanting tale of dragons, betrayals, and the power of friendship is the first in a charming and thrilling series by New York Times best-selling author Jessica Day George.

Creel can't believe her aunt wants to sacrifice her to the local dragon. It's a ploy to lure a heroic knight so that he will fight the dragon, marry Creel out of chivalrous obligation, and lift the entire family out of poverty. Creel isn't worried. After all, nobody has seen a dragon in centuries.

But when the beast actually appears, Creel not only bargains with him for her life, she also ends up with a rare bit of treasure from his hoard: a pair of simple blue slippers, or so she thinks. But Creel learns that these shoes could be used to save her kingdom from the brink of war - or destroy it.

Lovely

Still one of my favorite books since childhood. The vivid imagery and lovable characters have always inspired me. I can't wait for the rest of the series to be on Audible.

The Most Cozy Dragon Book

I read this as a kid in the 7th grade (I'm almost 30 now). I LOVED this book then and I love rereading it now. I've always loved embroidery and sewing as my mom taught me as a kid and so always really loved that aspect of this book. dragons with odd hordes and lots of sass is my favorite thing. Years ago, around my early 20's, I was obsessed with obtaining a blue pair of shoes and always remembered vaguely that it was related to a really wonderful book I read. After recently re-remembering this book to an childhood friend, I decided to see if it had an audiobook version. to my delight, it did! after all these years, I still absolutely adore and cherish this book.

Wonderful Story - Voices and Pronunciations Could Have Been More Accurate

This story (and Trilogy) is one of our family’s favorites. The reader overall does a great job and her voice matches exactly how we’d imagine the narrator, Creel. Two voices are quite off, however. Everyone I know hears Feniul as a kind of dragon C-3PO when they read the book. He’s quite endearing. Unfortunately, this reader slows his speech, makes it dull, and completely misses the mark. Also, most read Prince Luka as a quick witted but kind prince with a good sense of humor. He would sound proper but warm. The reader, however, reads him as a kind of stoner/joker and makes him sound completely immature. Since these are two main characters, it’s definitely a bit bothersome. Otherwise, the audio book is enjoyable and the beauty and fun of the story far outweigh a few inconsistencies in the reading!

Holds up

A favorite book from my childhood I was re-listening to this wonderful tale on my work commute for a break from podcasts and the writing is still engaging to my adult mind

The book is fantastic!

In the several times I read this book, I not once pictured the heroine of the book to be a slow, depressed, sardonic teenager. I love the book so much that I gave it four stars but the performance of the person that read the book was so very off. I don't know if the lady that read the book was just trying to read it for the 1st time? Maybe that's why she paused so much and was so slow at the reading of the book? Sadly the performance really lacked! This is so sad for me because I have been emailing audible for years to please get these books in. So disappointing! But I love the author

Love this story! Enjoyable Reader!

I’ve read this story several times and own a few copies of the book. The lady reading the story did a good job and was enjoyable to listen to. I definitely recommend this story! The overall performance was very good.
