 Countries are on the verge of war, an evil dictator looks to take over the world. Tashi, is from a small island country called the Blue Crescent Islands, the islands and their culture are very similar to traditional Japanese traditions and practices. Ramil, is from a country called Gerfal, which has the feel of a medieval-european society. Suddenly Gerfal and the Blue Crescent Islands are targets of the dictator Fergox; the countries decide to form an alliance. To ensure that this alliance is never broken they use Tashi and Ramil as their pawns, forcing them into a marriage.
 Dragonfly's romance is some what cliche and predictable but it still captures your heart. Tashi and Ramil ardently despise each other but by the end of the book they cannot be seperated. When the two characters get kidnapped and embark on a dangerous adventure they learn to tolerate and even respect each other. Readers cannot deny the characters feelings. I fell in love with these two characters instantly. The world that Golding creates in the novel is absolutely beautiful, the peoples struggle for healing and for good strikes your heart. I loved watching these characters grow and develop through out the wonderfully written novel.
 Julia Golding possess a good writing style, it flows nicely. She writes the characters beautifully, her humor is amazing! Dragonfly is definitely an easy, fun read! The adventure, fantasy, and romance drew me into the novel instantly! This is the perfect beach novel. A good light entertaining read which will pull right on your heart strings!
