Summary: A good conclusion to a great series
Review: This was probably the best book in the series, though not my personal favorite, which was Searching for Dragons. The story is about Daystar, the son of Cimorene, and his quest to learn how to use his magic sword and free his father from his imprisonment. Along the way he gains several companions, including Shiara, a fire witch, who echoes Cimorene in some ways, though is less clever and sure of herself, and has a disposition far worse, but is a likeable character none the less. I also liked the character of Daystar, but I don't think he is nearly as cool as his mother, or his father for that matter. This book has many conclusions that will be immensly satisfying to those readers who have been following this series. I won't say what they are though for the benefit of those haven't read it yet! I would reccamend this highly well written and fun series to any fantasy lover, though kids 10 and up would probably like it best.

Summary: Talking To Dragons
Review: When a wizard appears at Daystar's house outside the enchanted forest and his mother shoves a magic sword in his hands, his adventure begins. With the mysterious magic sword by his side Daystar sets out on a journey, even though he doesn't even know what he's looking for! When he learns that his sword belongs to the sleeping king of the enchanted forest he sets out to find a way to free him. As he travels through the very mysterious enchanted forest he has many different experiences, such as invisible castles, polite bushes, and many more. As he figures out his questionable adventure Daystar meets fire witches, dragons, elves and lots of other weird creatures! After I read the first three books of the Enchanted Forest Chronicles, I had to read the fourth! After I had read about Cimerine, Mendenbar and Morwen and her cats, I came to a fun filled adventure with lots of cool new characters. Out of all the books in Enchanted Forest Chronicles, this one was my favorite. I couldn't put it down. It was so good! The aouther gives alot of detail so you feel like you are really there!Talking to Dragons is a great book and I would recommend for any age! With a bit of romance and fun, the whole book comes together as a wonderful story that I wouldn't miss!

Summary: Good conclusion to a good series
Review: All right, everybody who has read this book and thinks that Daystar is the best of the characters, raise your hands! I loved the switch to first person in this book. I liked reading Daystar's thoughts, and how he really didn't know what was going on, but still didn't give up. I liked Shiara, and how she never seems to be quite sure what she wants. Suz made me laugh every time he showed up. The plot is a little convoluted, but it has a great beginning and an even better ending, with all our favorite characters getting involved at some point. The writing style is wonderful. And if you want a glimpse of life in the Enchanted Forest after these events, read "The Book of Enchantments." There's a great short story involving the Forest's Royal Family at the very end. Too bad it was the last book. The least Wrede could do is give us a glimpse of the upcoming wedding. I'm not going to tell you who's involved, you should read the book to find out.

Summary: The Best of the series!
Review: I am a 14 years old and I love dragon and magical books. When I read Patricia E. Wrede's book I found them so amazing. Book 4 was the best of them all. It was thrilling, exciting and definatly adventurous. I suggest Patricia E. Wrede to write more stories involving Queen Cimorene and King Mendenbar of the Enchanted Forest because something exciting always happens. This book is best as well as books 1, 2 and 3!

Summary: Utter enchantment
Review: I love this book! its so well written and enchanting that you forget its a book when you get lost inside the enchanted forest...I love all of Wrede's Enchanted Forest books but this one tops them all. The characters include old veterans such as Telemain, Morwen, Kazul, Cimorene, and of course Morwen's cats(i love them) the list goes on... and the new character's are equally intriguing Daystar is very a good character; he is so confused its funny he keeps doing things without meaning to or knowing how he did he's very well placed.. I LOVE Shiara.. between her temper and her dry humor she makes for a cool traveling companion... Daystar gets sent on a quest that he has no idea about.. the events and characters along the way make this a fast-paced wont-put-it-down story.. and the twists at the end will just blow you away! she has me waiting for the fifth book(which better be coming soon)this definately fits in well with the Forest chronicals.. its sooooooo soooo good! if you like fantasy and you have read the other Forest books you should definatley read this one! and even if you dont follow the Forest books, its a good read and definately not a waste of time or money! another of my favorites is Calling on Dragons, so if you havent read it then you should!

Summary: The Entire Series Is (Still) Phenomenally Brilliant
Review: What? Only five stars? I need more to do this series justice! Patricia C. Wrede writes marvelous fantasy. It's like "Mixed-Up Fairy Tales" or something, but funnier, more engaging, and ripe for repeat reading (After graduating from high school, I read the entire series for the third time in a matter of days). These are timeless tales. Even her NAMES are inventive. Cimorene, Mendanbar, Kazul, Morwen, Telemain, Daystar, Shiara...and let us not forget Zemenar and Antorell. The chapter headings induce chuckles immediately, simply by their existence. She writes in a style that incorporates intelligent fantasy with enjoyable humor. The characters are some you would like to know personally. And nowhere else have I seen as unique a discussion of magic in its many forms as in these four books. I did notice a trend of centralization. Dealing was Cimorene's book. Searching was Mendanbar's. Calling was Morwen's. Talking was Daystar's. I wish the series was not concluded, because I'd love to see Telemain's book. And perhaps Kazul's book could be somewhat of a prequel. Oh, and what about a book from Antorell's perspective? That would make for an incredibly funny story. The Enchanted Forest and its surrounding is a world I want to know about. Not many authors can create an entire world that entices the reader so greatly. But Mrs. Wrede has. Unlike the Douglas Adams' Hitchiker's Guide series, which got progressively worse, each book in the Enchanted Forest Chronicles compares to the original, as fresh and brilliant as ever. Needless to say, this series is one of the best ever. I have not really sampled a lot of the adult fantasy by Piers Anthony and Anne McCaffrey and such, but I doubt they can compare with the Enchanted Forest Chronicles. This is not mindboggling fantasy like the Lord of the Rings trilogy: this is fun. Oh, and remember: <points finger>..."Argelfraster."

Summary: Yuck!
Review: This book is a muddled mess compared to the other books of it's series. I loved them! But this book is very confusing, not to mention pointless. Daystar leaves his house and blunders about the enchanted forest like a fool without knowing what he's doing. He is involved in a few confusing incidents, and you have no clue wether the outcome is good or bad. Besides, it is missing my favorite characters. I would have liked to see more of Cimorene, Telemain, and Morwen's cats. Sure Daystar and Shiara are cool, but they're no replacement.

Summary: A Favorite!
Review: This is my Number One recommendation to anyone who asks. And people always ask me - I am a Librarian and Storyteller with experience in public libraries and school libraries from Texas to Germany. My suggestion to you is to read the first paragrahs, I think you will be hooked. "Mother taught me to be polite to dragons. Particularly polite, I mean ...if you make a mistake, the dragon eats you."

Summary: The Best Ever After
Review: I have read all four of the Enchanted Forest Chron. and I love them all. I got the first when I was in 2nd grade and I am still reading them. I reccomend the Enchanted Forest Chronicles for all of those people who dream in a fantasy world=) These books are BY FAR my favorites and they will be for a long time. You should really buy these books if you like fantasy (even a little bit) or if you like books with a little childish romance and a little bit of action. BUY THESE THEY ARE THE BEST!
