Henrietta the Dragon Slayer by Beth Barany

The interactions between them are fun to read, and they each bring a little bit of their expertise in various areas to the story. I enjoyed that Barany allowed them to each be so different. From a knight with an acidic attitude, to a court jester who just wants to tag along for the stories to tell, they are an amazing group of people. I'm smitten with her.Īlong with Henrietta, we meet her motley crew of adventurers. That is, until she is swept off on another epic adventure! Henrietta was a breath of fresh air in a sea of whiny female characters. On top of that, despite her renown as a dragon slayer, Henrietta can't stomach the thought of another kill. Henrietta isn't the type to back down from a fight, but she also won't go looking for them either. the evil corporation and the quest for an Eden-like place in a world of zombies and very few humans.I need to start this review by saying that I absolutely adore Henrietta's character! Thank you to Beth Barany for writing such a spitfire and strong female character.

(I actually love all the kick ass roles she plays!) I love the theme of girl vs. Maybe it has something to do with the actress Milla Jovovich. I have recently really enjoyed Alice in the Resident Evil movies. Here’s some more of mine! I’d love to hear who your favorite kick ass heroines are! I’ve switched my focus from Bad Ass to Kick Ass, an slight shift to focus away from the “bad” and all that word can mean and toward the “kick” part.Ī Kick Ass heroine and archetype is one who takes action, kicks butt, and is fearless, bold, and often needs to be in charge. Hence, part #3!īecause we women need, want, crave role models - women we can look up too! Today I continue my exploration of these Kick Ass Heroines that I love in books, movies and TV shows. You could call them Part 1 and 2, if you want!

I talked earlier about the Bad Girl Archetype: We Love Her, We Hate Her, We Want to Be Her and Characteristics of a Kick-Ass Heroine Archetype. I’ve got an excerpt here and cool reviews here. I write YA fantasy and my debut novel is now out! Check out Henrietta The Dragon Slayer on Amazon US | Amazon UK and B&N. Wednesdays I devote the blog conversation to what I love about my genre, fantasy, and what I think y’all love about it, too.
