I loved this book!!! It is sooooooo well written. If anything, it's probably the most well written books I have read all year. For a lack of a better way of describing it, at it's core it is a simple story but it is so well thought out with believable and lovable characters that it's hard to put the book down.
Jennifer Strange, the narrator, is a 15 year old indentured servant. Jennifer is the acting manager for the wizards of Kazam Mystical Arts
Management in the Kingdom of Hereford of the Ununited Kingdoms. Fforde does a wonderful job blending old and new to create an alternative world where magic is real and indentured servants are a common occurrence. Oh and dragons are real too in this world and it turns out that Jennifer is the last dragonslayer. She is faced with the tough choice of 'following her destiny' or doing what she thinks is best.
A fun read for all ages!
