I really enjoyed Dragonfly. There was a lot of depth to it; the characters and the stories. I was not expecting the idea of chosen family to arise, but it did and I really enjoyed that aspect. The group is very dynamic and different. Each character having their strengths, weaknesses, and roles to play. The number of characters did make it hard to follow at times, but I was still deeply engrossed in this book.
The story was both beautiful and heartbreaking. The details were present, though sometimes a lot at once, it still drew you into the story. The writing was well developed as well as easy to read, which made the pages fly by.
Shoutout to my friend who loves HF s much as I do for Recommending this one to me. It was a good one.
