Summary: Wonderful book!
Review: I must say, after reading all of the books in the Enchanted Forest series I was rather skeptical of this one. My first thoughts centered around my disappointment of the main character. "No more Cimorene?" I thought. Well this book just proved that you don't need all the originals to make a good sequel. The characters from the first three books (Kazul, Cimorene and Mendanbar plus more I believe) all make appearances, but the story this time centers around Daystar, Cimorene and Mendanbar's son from the third book. Since Mendanbar was frozen inside the castle at the end of the third book and Cimorene can't just go in and save him, it's up to Daystar. He carries with him the magical sword, and discovers a variety of wonderful and exciting characters, including the tempramental yet dazzling Shiara. A must read!

Summary: Fast-paced action story
Review: (...)
This story is about a boy named Daystar, who is more important than he ever dreamed. The story begins with Daystar chopping wood outside his mothers cottage. Little does he know that his life is about to change forever. While Daystar is chopping wood a wizard confronted Daystars mother, she immediately melted the wizard. The next day Daystar saw his mother coming out of the forest carrying a sword. She gave the sword to Daystar and sent him into the enchanted forest. After being in the enchanted forest for a while Daystar met a young fire witch named Shiara, they become friends and decide to travel together. This book is a fast paced action story dealing with dragons, wizards, witches and magic. The story is filled with interesting and exiting characters. This is an awesome book I recommend it.

Summary: A fantasic Fantasy Series
Review: It may look like it is geared toward children, but like all books don't let the looks deceive you. Patricia has created a fantasy world unlike any other. She gives it the MidEvil qualities of royal families, as well as the mythological attributes of that time period. Once you start here, you won't stop.

Summary: Great!
Review: i read these books back when they were first coming out, and i was in middle school. i loved them, but i eventually forgot the authors name, they book titles, and the name of the series. i was just doing a search to find christmas presnats for my sister, when i came across them again, so needless to say, i have ordered the whole set,and i'm re-reading them. they're that good. i won't go into the storyline, it's been done, but i do reccomend these books to just about everybody. they are a woefully underrepresented minority, now that harry potter has taken hold(another good series) but they are far worth reading.

Summary: Humor, Adventure, Romance, Humor
Review: Talking to Dragons was originally a single book. My whole family and I read it over and over, checking it out from the library on a regular basis. Then, suddenly, it disappeared! Ms. Wrede then published what has become known as the Enchanted Forest Chronicles with Talking to Dragons as the conclusion(boo-hoo)in the four-book series. While the first three are a lot of fun, Talking to Dragons is far and away the prize jewel. Several things make these books fabulous: Humor, rich character development, well thought-out satire, creative use of magic, fantastic plots. If you like charming and witty books about magical places with loveable characters, you will adore these books! They are so well written, readers of any age will enjoy them-even non-fantasy readers!

Summary: Last is really first
Review: I actually have a copy of the original version of this book. It was actually the first book written in the series. The other 3 books qualify as prequels. After the other 3 were written, Ms. Wrede made some minor changes in Talking to Dragons to make it coordinate with what were now the "first 3". I enjoyed the whole series. I have enjoyed her other books as well. I highly recommend the series and have it in my library although they are rarely on the shelves.

Summary: A lot better than Harry Potter ever was or will be
Review: This is a really great book for fantasy lovers worldwide. It deals with witches, wizards, magicians, kings, queens, princesses in distress, fire-witches, magic swords, and, of course, dragons. Daystar's mother, Cimorene, wants Daystar to leave home and go on a quest through the Enchanted Forest. He doesn't know what his quest is about, but Cimorene won't let him return home until he finds out. On his journey, he encounters talking lizards, an invisible castle, and a mischievous fire-witch. This delightful book will charm anyone who ever thought Harry Potter was the best book in the world.

Summary: A nice ending
Review: If you like the other books in the Enchanted Forest Chronicles, you will like this. I know I did. Daystar, the son of Cimorene and Mendanbar, embarks on a quest to...find out what he's supposed to be doing! Along the way he meets a fire-witch named Shiara, a baby dragon, a talking lizard, and may familiar characters along the way. Daystar is a likeable hero, very quirky, uncertain of himself, and an all-around sweetie. The book drags a bit, in part because there aren't as many skewed fairy tale references as in the past books. But it's forgivable, because of all the great characters. My favorite, Telemain, made a return appeareance, so I was content. ;) This is worth your money, if only to see the end of the cliffhanger in "Calling on Dragons." Read the book. I guarantee there are worse ways to spend your time, and this is a pretty darn good one.
