Rating: Summary: ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS I HAVE EVER READ Review: tihs book is my absoluet favorrite books ever all i can say is read the fist 3 then this one you'll love all of them!
Rating: 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.
Rating: 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!
Rating: 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!
Rating: 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."
Rating: 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.
Rating: 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."
Rating: 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!
Rating: 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: 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!
