Cimorene isn't the heroine so much as her son is the hero. Daystar is unceremoniously sent off on a quest by his no-nonsense mum. Apparently, he has to take an old sword and his good manners to save the father he never met. A change of pace to be reading a first-hand account (Daystar's) and from such a young perspective, this one is just as entertaining as the prequels.Daystar stumbles upon some interesting characters in the Forest, beginning with the sharp, wise Suz. Soon, he is keeping company with a surprisingly cunning princess, a baby dragon, and a rude fire witch. The group is not at all like the older, assured adults we met in the other books, but it's just as charming to get to know these young 'uns as they grow up together during their Great Adventure. Patricia Wrede has written a strong finish to her utterly lovable series. The perfect blend of action, description, humor, and intelligence have made this one of my favorite fantasy series. Revisiting the Enchanted Forest is pure fun even years later. Look for her other books as well.

Its about a 16 year old kid named Daystar that lives with his mother at the end of the Enchanted Forest. One day a wizard comes to there house and his mother meltes him and sends him off to find out what he is supposed t be doing with The Sword of the Sleeping King. On his jouny he encounters a talking golden lizard, two fire witches, a magitian, a witch, alot of wizards, 7 dwarfes, a Dragon, a princess, a knight, and a jelly type thing. My favorite part is when Daystar is fighting a evil fire witch and he uses his sword agianst her and she uses a spell and he describes how his arms feel like hot lead is melting over them.i love that part becuaze its fells like your watching the lead actually melt over his arms. the only bad part is that the name of the chapterbecuaze it gives away what happens in that chapter but besides that its one of the bast books iv'e ever read. I would give this book and the other three books(Dealing with Dragons, Serching for Dragons, and Calling on Dragons). I would only recommend this book if you have read the first three books (i give them ***** to).
Rating: ![4 stars](http://www.reviewfocus.com/images/stars-4-0.gif) Summary: fun and funny Review: This whole series is great, and should appeal not only to kids but to adult fans of Fractured Fairytales. This particular book is the last one in the series, and should not really be read as a stand-alone book. But it does seem fresh and different, because it follows two brand new characters. We also get a better sense of what it is like to wander around in the Enchanted forest if you are not the King of the Dragons or the King of the Enchanted Forest. All the talk in earlier books about how the forest can be a dangerous place starts to make more sense. Finally, there is a sort of chaste romance that takes place, featuring just one kiss (and that one for magical purposes). It's fun to watch develop, because it seems a lot more real than the type of love-at-first-sight or hate-turns-to-love romances that fantasy books often feature.

Review: "Talking To Dragons," a fantastic, fanciful odyssey with a company of dragons, elves, witches, felines and magicians deserves a fabulous presentation, which is exactly what it is given with this full cast of able players. It's a listener's delight. Billed as the concluding episode in Wrede's acclaimed Enchanted Forest Chronicles, Book Four opens to find King Mendanbar still imprisoned. Queen Cimorene has been living almost in seclusion at the edge of the Enchanted Forest with their son Daystar. Now that Daystar is deemed old enough to rescue his father a multitude of challenges await him. Alone he must traverse the Enchanted Forest with a magic sword, a fire-witch, and a baby dragon. There are many who will challenge him. It's all in the name of good excitement presented with crackling dialogue and imaginative situations. When it comes to fantasy, Wrede knows her magic spells. - Gail Cooke

Review: When 16 year old Daystar's mother, Cimerone, gives him a magic sword and tells him to leave home and to not come back until his task is finished, he obeys. The problem is, Daystar has no idea what his task is! He sets off into the Enchanted Forest totally confused. He meets a stubborn young firewitch who doesn't know how to do her magic, called Shiara. They embark on a dangerous journey through the Enchanted forest and still don't know where they are going. Daystar learns that his sword is the sword of the Sleeping King, Mendanbar, that he must go to the kingdom of dragons and seek for King Mendanbar and give him his sword. This is a must read for children and adults of all ages! I recommend it to fantasy and non-fantsy/fiction and non-fiction readers and this book is no waste of money!
Rating: ![4 stars](http://www.reviewfocus.com/images/stars-4-0.gif) Summary: Continuing Book Review: When Cimorine sends her son Daystar off into the Enchanted Forest with only a sword and not even a reason to be there, it gave me the idea that new adventure was coming. I liked the book because I just couldn't stop reading once I started! It was great until the end... Once I finished the last page I was disappointed. I just had all these questions in my mind that weren't answered.I couldn't believe that the book ended like that. I especially have one question, WHAT HAPPENS NEXT?????? Please continue this story in another book.

Rating: ![5 stars](http://www.reviewfocus.com/images/stars-5-0.gif) Summary: Talking to Dragons... A wonderful book Review: The book I chose is "Talking to Dragons" by Patricia C Wrede was a wonderful book. Cimorene lives at the edge of the Enchanted Forest with her son Daystar. Until the day Atroll came. Atroll is a wizard that has been after Cimorene for years. After Cimorene melts Atroll Daystar has to leave. His mother says that he has to find what he is looking for before he can come home. The thing is he dose not know what he is looking for. On his adventure Daystar encounters a fire witch, a witch, a magician, a lizard named Suz, Kazul King of the Dragons, a young Dragon, and the King of the Enchanted Forest. In this story I liked almost all the characters, because they had funny personalities. I didn't like Suz the lizard, or the young Dragon because they were annoying. Suz would cut every sentence short or answer for you. (Example: You didn't do you? Oh you did. Yes you really did). The Dragon was always talking about eating wizards. I think the message of this story is to be polite to every one and you will find out what you need to know. What I liked best about this book was it was very exciting. The thing I liked the least was that there were a lot of wizards in the book. I thought that the middle of the was the best because it gave you all the details. I think the author keep the reared interested. I also think that the book has just the right amount of deities. The vocabulary in the book is not hard but the names are. I love the way this book is written. This book to me would be appropriate for the ages 9-15 because young children might not under stand it and older kids might not like it. I thought this was a good book and I hope you will to! By, KNR
Rating: ![5 stars](http://www.reviewfocus.com/images/stars-5-0.gif) Summary: Hilarious from the beginning Review: From when the wizard is melted all the way until the happy ending, this book will keep you interested in the story, laughing until the end. I saw this book sitting in my parents' house one day and decided to read it. I have read it several times since. It was not until recently that I realized this book was the end of a series. So of course, I read the other novels. Wrede has written these books about the Enchanted Forest remarkably well. If you enjoy fantasy novels, this is the book for you. Look for some of the same silly inclusions as found in Piers Anthony. Withces, Magicians, melting wizards, hidden princesses, dragons, enchanted Kings.. what more could you ask for?
