Hi Carissimi,
I have a special place in my reader’s heart for anything Dragon related, (it may or may not by connected to the fact I was born in the year of the dragon.) Today Dragon review is Dragon Slayer the first book in the Slayers and Protectors series by Kristin D. Van Risseghem.
Brooklyn is New York’s newest up-and-coming dragon slayer.
Known as a the first Kill Shot in her year. Kill Shots are an elite assassin who can destroy dragons with one blow, Brooklyn is descended from slayer royalty. As she starts to use her magic, it becomes more powerful and destructive every day. seek the help of four guys, all with the own unique abilities. Quickly she starts to fall for these boys, but they are hiding something from her. All is not as it seems either with these 4, they are stronger, faster and more Dangerous than another male at the school
But things are about to go from bad to worse. Brooklyn isn’t just the strongest slayer alive she realise that she has no idea who she really is. Once she discovers the truth, her entire world will be changed forever.
Dragon Slayer is a Teen drama in a magical world.
Dragon Slayer feels like a book that is setting up the world. It’s setting up the action for the next books in the series.
The lead character is Brooklyn, I felt like I understood certain aspect of her personality. Brooklyn is weary of the people around her. After spends the first year at the school on her own, people start making an effort to be her friend after she becomes a Kill Shot. She want to be their friends but worried they are after something. I think any shy person has probably had that thought.
Brooklyn is drawn to several different men in the story all for different reasons. It is interesting seeing the female character have multiple boyfriends or as the synopsis suggests her own Harem.
One of my favourite aspects is that the slayer school is hidden in plain sight, it’s location is at a New York college.
In addition to a hidden school the Dragon disguised as human living normal lives. That battles between dragons and slayers happen in the streets of New York hidden by magic and if anything does get out the stories are twisted by school media removing any traces of magic or dragons.
By the end of the book we know of one mystery revolving Brooklyn. It will be interesting to see what else will come out or more secrets the level three boys are hiding.
My rating for Dragon Slayer is 3.5 out of 5.
