She's smarter than Xena, funnier than Guinevere, and spunkier than Catherine (a.k.a. Birdy). She's Jackie, Dragonslayer-in-training, and she's moving through the land to kick some major tail!.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Witty, Interesting, fun!,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Dragonslayer's Apprentice (Point Fantasy) (Mass Market Paperback)
This is a 160-page book. When I picked it up I was not expecting a novel, unlike some of the people who have reviewed apparently did. I found this book entertaining and enjoyed filling in the blanks my self and using my imagination; something that some previous people do not apparently enjoy doing. Though this book is not quite as good as Patricia C Wrede's Enchanted Forest Chronicles, it is 160 pages not 255 like the longest in the series, and is definitely at a lower level and is wonderful for that level. I must admit when I ordered this book I did not know it was so small, but found it enjoyable for its purpose and was a delightful easy read. The time period does not need to be stated or identified, and the Characters do develop themselves a little. There is some bloodshed that I remember and someone does get seriously injured and is unable to continue, unlike a previous person said. I found I was disgusted when I read that review and felt like they hadn't even read the book. I also just recently looked at the pages of the book and they have a lot of dialogue so I have no idea what that one person was talking about. The main Character has an attitude but I would not call her conceded! This book was a pleasure to read and I would gladly recommend it and reread it myself. Mostly for ages 8-11

A Kid's Review
This review is from: The Dragonslayer's Apprentice (Library Binding)
Dragon slaying is no work for amateurs, as they say. In fact most people wouldn't even consider the idea of doing the job. Not Jackie though. She is a 15 year old apprentice that loves adventure. she actually left her kingdom in search ofsome action. She doesn't mind the creatuers, witches, or any thing else that might come her way. The only thing she is afraid of is being sought out by her family and being bored. Join her, the Dragonslayer, and Ron on an amazing journey and adventure where you can kick some serious tail. Jackie is on her way to be the first female dragon slayer, but you have to read the book to find out the rest. This book will both thrill and suprise you. I even finished it in one day. The Dragonslayer's Apprentice will make you laugh as much as it makes you flip pages. If you like fantasy, adventure, thrills, and humor you have to read this book! ENJOY!

A nice juvenile read,
By
This review is from: The Dragonslayer's Apprentice (Library Binding)
I agree with previous criticisms of the book -- neither characters nor world are well developed. In addition, the typographical errors are annoying.On the positive side, the book has an interesting premise and the author an enjoyable style. This would be a good book for a juvenile who is showing an interest in longer works but may not yet be ready for something the length of a novel.
