Review : The Last Dragon by Jane Yolen

The Last DragonThe Last Dragon by Jane Yolen
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I've read some of Jane Yolen's works and I was quite interested in reading this graphic novel. And the artwork only added to the want as well!

The story line was wonderfully created. Tansy was a character I fell in love with because she was such a dreamer but such a loving character. Her mother may not have had the patience with her but her father felt she could become the next healer of their town. Everything was going well until a beast came to their town and people and animals began disappearing. She was one character that seemed to keep their cool the best when it came to defeating the Dragon that came to feed.

Personally I loved the simple story behind this work. It flowed beautifully and when paired with the art work it left me wanting to look at pages forever. It has such a flowy, art nouveau type style to me that I almost fell in love instantly. I don't think this story would have worked as well with another's art work. Stand alone as a short story and I would have read it reguardless because of the author but the art just did it for me.
