Rating: Summary: SO COOL!!!! ( Argelfraster ) Review: I loved this book!!!! I got to read more on Morwen's cats. ( I like Fiddlesticks!!! ) This was a great book! (can't say it enough!) I've got to read the next one! Telemain is my fav. (even though he talks in a very cofusing way) A must read book!!!!!!
Rating: Summary: ONE OF MY FAVORITE BOOKS EVER! Review: I really liked this book (although I couldn't tell which of Ms. Wrede's books I like best) It was especially funny because of the hilarious comments of the cats and the constant changes in Killer. I love all of the enchanted forest chronicles, and I have read them at lest five times each. I really reccomend all the books of these series!
Rating: Summary: Great series; average book Review: I really wanted to like "Calling on Dragons." There's so much good to say about it; I love the cats, I really like Morwen and Telemain, it's great to see a bit of Cimorene and Mendanbar's marriage.But there's something missing from this book that the others have. And I'm not sure what it is. It's not wit; this book is as witty as the others. It's not charm; it's very charming in spots. And it's certainly not the satire, as this is just as satirical as the others. Perhaps it tries too hard. I know that has to sound rather odd, but bear with me. One character Cimorene and Morwen meet up with on their travels is a rabbit named Killer. Killer dyes his hair; now, _that's_ funny! But after that, Killer goes through a gauntlet of problems, getting dyed blue, turning into a donkey, then a donkey with huge ears that floats, etc. Basically, Killer's a one-joke character, whose joke goes a little stale. ...... I'd rather have read more about Morwen's cats, as they made chapter one extremely enjoyable. Or about Morwen and Telemain's unusual relationship. Or a bit more about how Cimorene and Mendanbar get along. Still, average Wrede beats many other authors. And this is a great series. However, I read book 4 without book 3 and figured things out just fine (because I couldn't _find_ book 3); maybe others would be able to navigate the jump between book 2 and 4 as well. I'm not sure. So, I'd give this three stars, and recommend it because of the series, not because of this book by itself.

Rating: Summary: A great story, but watch out - it ends in a "cliffhanger" Review: I still love all of this action-packed, delightfully funny series, even now that I'm well beyond the recommended reading level, but I've got to warn you: Don't read this book unless and until you know that you can get your hands on the last installment RIGHT AWAY, or you won't get what I consider a real end to the story!
Rating: Summary: Great! Review: In the third book, you get to see the adventures through the veiwpoint of Morwen. This is a plus, because now we get to hear what exactly her cats are saying.
A good, entertaining read, very fun!
Rating: Summary: good book bad ending Review: It was a good book but I did not like the ending. My favorites were Kazul and Trouble. This is the only book I have read in this series. I believe I will read the rest of the books.
Rating: Summary: An interesting book Review: The book I read is called Calling On Dragons by Patricia G. Wrede. This book is about the characters trying to return a magical sword back to the Enchanted Forest. My opinion of this book is that it is very interesting because of all the adventures. I would recommend this book if you like adventures and magics. If you don't, don't read this book
Rating: Summary: VERY funny! Review: The entire series has beeen funny so far but with the introduction of Killer, the giant blue floating winged donkey rabbit who is also stupid and who never learns his lesson, makes this boook simply hilarious. This time the story is from Morwen's point of view so we are treated to being able to hear the cats' snide comments, scornful insults and sarcasticness which are only heard by Morwen and Killer. the plot is that Mendanbar's sword has been stolen and must be returned before the wizard's suck the forest dry of magic. A group set off to search for it:Telemain, Cimorene, Morwen, two of her cats, Kazul and Killer. Mendanbar can't come because he has to maintain the spell on the forest. He is upset not only because he must stay behind but also because he is worried about Cimorene who is pregnant. The group set off, encountering a farmer who grows magical things, alot of mud and a fire witch who lives in a tower once inhabited by his sister Rachel, and sometimes gets knights that come to yell "Rachel, Rachel send down the chair!". As I said, an extremly funny story.
