Dragonfly By Julia Golding


Princess Taoshira of the Blue Crescent Islands is used to order. Every single day is planned out to the minute, from what time she wakes, what she dresses in, how she dresses, the ceremonies she does, she doesn't have any room for movement. Prince Ramil is used to freedom. He can do as he likes pretty much every second of his life, and that's how he likes it. So when they learn that they are to marry each other, they are understandably rather appalled. But when they get kidnapped, they find that they will have no escape- from their kidnappers, or each other. They must avoid brainwashing, unarmed combat, and imprisonment- from the very kingdom that their two countries strove to bring down in their alliance. In this cute, Shannon Hale- like novel, we find out what happens when two completely different people from other sides of the world are brought together and fall in love. I whole-heartedly give it 5 stars, and reccommend it to everyone, from 10 year olds to moms.
