the storyline was dynamic and exciting
By AudioBook Reviewer
Henchgirl by Rita Stradling is the first young adult fantasy novel in the series called Dakota Kekoa. It features 16-year-old Dakota Kekoa as she navigates the politics of the dragon, dragon-blooded human or Dracon, and human communities. While only 16, Dakota, a Dracon, has been working undercover for her grandfather, a powerful Dracon and businessman, to infiltrate the human community by pretending to be a human student at a high school. The rest of the time, she uses her Dracon-given powers to manipulate the emotions of her grandfather’s enemies to bend them to his will. In addition to these responsibilities, Dakota assumes the responsibility of both providing for her wayward, human mother and sisters as well as keeping their need for support a secret from her Dracon grandfather. The relationship between the Dracon and Human communities is a tense alliance that Dakota must further test when her Human friend goes missing.
I really enjoyed this novel. The world building surrounding the interface of the Dracon society with the Human society and the interweaving relationships of all the characters are quite complex. Living at the interface of the two communities, Dakota’s position is especially unique. As a Dracon female with a certain amount of dragon blood, she could be trained to become a good Dracon wife. However, as soldier for her grandfather’s and family’s interests, she is able to avoid this. But the fact that Dakota could be facing that fate, especially if she falls in love with a Dracon, makes the romance in the novel particularly complex. There were aspect of the romance that I didn’t like, and I hope Dakota is more convincingly able to take a stand for herself as the story continues into the sequel. The concept and explanation of the dragon culture were interesting as was the existence of the Dracon with their unique powers. Dakota’s power of soul manipulation was especially fascinating. I wasn’t completely convinced by the mechanics of Dakota’s power and how it related to the soul. I think there could have been more nuance to the power, but I liked how it used. I liked all of the characters and their interactions with each other. The plot building was also pretty good. I was surprised by the end and the storyline was dynamic and exciting. I would definitely recommend this novel.
The narration by Sorrel Brigman was good as well. The voicing of each of the characters was distinct so it was really easy to tell the characters apart. This was especially important because there are so many characters to keep track of. But the narration made it easy. The production quality was good as well. I would recommend this novel to anyone who likes young adult fantasy novels, especially those with dragons.

Henchgirl is Fun Reading With Some Great Twists
By Zozo
Henchgirl is a fun and engaging adventure fantasy that meshes together some of what we thought we knew about dragons with a modern setting, and all the angst and joy of following your gut and doing what is right and best for you.
At first, when I first started reading the book, within the first few chapters it became obvious that this book was somewhat inspired by Pride and Prejudice. However, despite this sense of plot deja-vu, there was enough character and world building within the story - especially through side characters - that Henchgirl still felt like its own story and not just taking Austen's characters and putting them in a more modern and magical setting.
Dakota lives in a world where basically the descendants of dragons walk the earth and rule with a few places that are solely for humans. It's really interesting to see the dynamics between the humans and those that are considered non-human. At some points, I never knew if I was pro-human or pro-magic because there are extremists on both ends who are in positions of high power and influence. You have the dragons who either use humans or part humans solely for reproductive means and then you have humans who will kill their own children, whether or not they did something wrong if they are thought to be one of the "infected". There are just several levels of discrimination happening in this book, even amongst those on the same side that really adds depth to the character and the plot.
I did worry that Dakota would seem too much like a Mary Sue, or the "too perfect heroine" but I believe that Stradling did a decent job of either shifting the reader's focus to another character or was able to show Dakota as what she is - a 16 year old girl trying to balance a lot on her plate. The romance is somewhat admittedly cliche but honestly I would be lying if I said I wasn't waiting for more Dakota and Wyvern moments in the next book. Along with being interested in seeing where the romantic elements will be taken in the series, there are many moments where I sensed foreshadowing or future development of the certain parts (like who was behind the initial attack of Dakota's father) that get me really excited for the next book.
Overall, I really enjoyed Henchgirl and could not put it down because it was an entertaining read. I look forward to seeing how Rita Stradling develops not only Dakota and Wyvern in the next book but also the side characters like certain members of Dakota's family like her sister or her friend (don't want to say which one in cause it's kind of a spoiler) who goes through some pretty traumatic life changes. There's just a a lot of side characters that I would love to learn more about. Anyway, if you like fantasy young adult books, give Henchgirl a shot!

Dracons Beware! Henchgirl is here!
By K. A. Patterson
"Henchgirl" by Rita Stradling brings to life an alternate world where dragons live and breed with humans to create dracons. Backed by their dragon parents, dracons control over 80% of the world. The protagonist, Dakota Kekoa, is a 16-year-old dracon who works for her grandfather as a type of enforcer. Dakota's mother is a selfish alcoholic who drinks or spends every penny she gets her hands on, so Dakota works to support her mother, her sisters, and herself.
Ms. Stradling immerses her readers in this new world from the beginning. I can feel the heat of the islands where Dakota lives, hear the hate speech from the full-humans, and understand the dread of being accidentally turned into a vampire or werewolf. I want to bitch slap those who are rude to Dakota, and yell at her mother for letting her daughter shoulder the responsibility of taking care of the entire household. If you let it, this story will suck you in and hold you to the edge of your seat as Dakota muddles her way through visiting dignitaries and the vanishing of one of her true friends.
"Henchgirl" is clean in term of no grammatical or spelling errors. But more than that, all the details line up. Not once did I hit an inconsistency that can pull a reader from the narrative. Instead, I lost track of time while reading.
I give this book 5 stars out of 5, and recommend it to anyone who loves fantasy books.
