Summary: nooooooooooooooooo
Review: After I read this excellent book I actually felt kind of sad. I wanted the Enchanted forest chronicles to go on. Miss.Wrede's books are so sudden and suspenseful(is suspenseful even a word?),anyway, that I read on and on and on etc. Till my mom tells me to stop. its so sad. no more enchanted forest books. Well as a so-so reader these books are the best ever. If you disagree with me you can write to me at:poohtigger15@hotmail.com (stupid address huh?) It will be nice arguing!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Fantasy novel for All Readers
Review: If you have ever read any of Patricia Wrede's books, you will know what an excellent fantasy writer she is. If you've never read this book, you must! It's excellent! When I read it for the first time, I had to buy a copy. Then my teacher recommended it. I brought it in. Everyone who read it loved it.If you like any books with talking Dragons, read this. Only, don't forget the other books in the series. This is the fourth and final in a quartet of fun!Tell me if you liked it!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: An action-packed adventure!
Review: With Mendanbar now trapped in his castle, Cimorene and her now 17 year old son live on the outskirts of the Enchanted Forest. The young prince knows nothing of his heritage, and thinks of the sword only as a weapon. When a wizard appears at their doorstep, Cimorene decides it is time for her son to save his father. Through sly princesses, confused dragons, and an army of wizards, the young prince makes unlikely friends, and finally . . . Read the story for the rest!

Summary: One of the best current fantasy novels
Review: I think this was the first fantasy book I ever read (apart from Lord of the Rings), and it will always be one of my favourites. I've reread it many times since and it always holds up. One thing though: it's being advertised as the conclusion to the Enchanted Forest Chronicles. It may be book four, but I'm not sure it can actually be a conclusion, since it was written years before the other three came out.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: one of the best books i've read.
Review: Talking to Dragons is an exceptionally good book. It is to bad that this book is the last in the series. All of the books are very good. however, this is, in my opinion, the best. Daystar is about my age, and faces many problems, as does any normal teenager. Even though the dragons didn't have as big of a roll as in the previous books, they did have a pretty important part. Also, the baby dragon that went along with Daystar and Sharia was important. However, the dragons didn't have as much dialog as in the past books. That disappointed me a little, but hte book was very good, all and all. The way it ends is also very good. How does it end? Well, read it yourself, and tell other's about it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A brilliant conclusion to a brilliant series
Review: Talking to Dragons is the last in the Enchanted forest Chronicles, and full of the witty fun that made the previous three so enjoyable. Focusing on the adventures of Cimorene and Mendenbar's son, Daystar, Talking to Dragons is just as good as all the others in the series. Try it! Good, clean fun for more than just fantasy readers.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Entire Series Is 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 (I just graduated from high school, and I just finished reading 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."

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I think that this book and all the Dragon books are the best
Review: These books are enchanting and real life but also very much fantasy at the same time! This and and all of the Dragon books are the best I've ever read and I encourage anyone and everyone to read them!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A great book to read because it deserves to be read.
