Dragonfly by Julia Golding
4.0
This book took a much longer and more complex journey then I expected. It was compared to "Graceling" and though it does have similarities, it is not quite as good. Having said that, it's excellent in it's own way.
It presents a lot of questions of religion and personal discovery in the eyes of other people. Good character building and good world building. One of the reviews recommended this to 9-12 year-olds, I would disagree. A bit too mature both in violence and in marriage conversations, 9-12 grade, maybe.
Ultimately, it lacked a major climax for me, but was very nicely tied up.
