Dragonfly is
set in the medieval fantasy world and follows the life of a young woman called Greeta
(Dragonfly) who lives in a small Viking village of the Shining Star people in
the Great Turtle Lands. Greeta is tall,
paled skinned and blonde, unlike the Shining Star people who have darker skin.
All Greeta longs for is a family of her own; however her plans change when her
cousin and her childhood companion talk despairingly against her. She is in
turmoil as her father won’t tell her the secret about her true nature and
decides that she will accept the offer of the Sharman who will show her how to
walk in Dreamtime. Greeta convinces
herself that this is the way she will discover the secret about her existence
and to carry out her dreams of having a family, but this is where some
unexpected events occur and the sudden realisation of her bad choice will haunt
her forever if she can’t find a way back to her family.
Resa Nelson
is a good writer worthy of her craft as she creates a world so atmospheric and
perceivable that many readers will believe it really exists. Greetas plight is believable as she must
learn to accept herself for who she is and I imagine a lot of readers will be
able to identify with this young heroines journey.
I would
highly recommend this book to all YA fantasy fans.
