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.

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.

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.

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."

Summary: I love this book.
Review: This book is really incredible. I love the way you are transported to a new world.With dragons, princesses, caves, enchanted forests, witches with nine cats and one spunky heroine to top it all off, this is one HECK of a good book. My advice: READ IT, READ IT, READ IT, READ IT!!!!! If you haven't already ordered it, then listen to some of the names of the characters: Morwen, Kazul, Cimorene, Mendanbar, Jasper, and more. Sound familiar? No? Then GET READING!!!!!!!!!!
