The Enchanted Forest Chronicles : [Boxed Set ]

Rating:
Summary: Fantalicious
Review: All the books in the Enchanted Forest Chronicles were stupendous. Full of action, fantasy, romance, and humor that is both hilarious and sarcastic. I enjoyed reading these books tremendously, although I would have liked to have more on Cimorene and her life with her husband and perhaps more about Daystar and his love interest. All in all, it was a great series!

Summary: Fantasy at its best!
Review: Cimorene may be a bit unconventional as a princess, she's practical and independent, she uses her head. She voluntarily becomes the personal assistant to a dragon. In the first book she has to deal with would-be resucers who won't take 'no' for an answer, and medeling wizards.

I really can't tell you what happens in the following books without ruining it for you. Whether your buying these books for your child or for yourself, you won't be disapointed. Also, don't be afraid to get this for a younger child who reads at a higher level, there isn't anything questionable in these books as far as maturity content. It's simply young-adult fiction because it has the power to hold older readers imaginations as well as young readers.

Summary: A Forest with a Mind of It's Owm
Review: Five great stories that keep you hooked till the very last story. With great detail and great story plots. It really transports you to a land of dragons and wizards and witches and princesses and princes'and "caves of fire and nigh" and what not. Four stories wroth reading. In these it seems as though the forest control the characters. READ IT!!!

Summary: loved it
Review: I enjoyed the book except the fact that some of the pages are missing. Pages 307 through 330 are printed twice. The title page and the first three chapters are left out. I am not sure they are missing in all the copies or not.

I would reccomend the four book box set over the all in one cronicles.

Review: I love this series.

I first encountered these books in sixth grade, when my teacher began to read Dealing with Dragons to my class. She never finished it, and I forget why I began to read it, but after I had finished it, I loved it. For a long time, I didn't even know that it was part of a series. I read and reread the book so many times that the paperback spine broke, and I had to finally replace it. When I did replace it, I bought the entire series.

I always tell people that this is a great series for young adults who like fantasy, and that the first book (Dealing with Dragons) can stand alone pretty well. It is a series that uses common tropes from fairy tales and fantasy myths, but satirizes and mocks them. For example, in Dealing with Dragons, Cimorene (the very IMPROPER princess) meets a talking frog... but one that she doesn't need to kiss, although he offhandedly remarks that he's met a couple enchanted frogs in the past. :)

The second book, Searching for Dragons, is a continuation to Dealing with Dragons, but it introduces a new character, Mendenbar, the ruler of the Enchanted Forest (and we discover why the series is called The Enchanted Forest Chronicles) and revisits some of the older characters. Calling on Dragons, which is one of my favorites in the series, focuses on the witch Morwen-- it is the silliest of all of them, in my opinion, mostly because of Morwen's cats. Finally, Talking to Dragons, which is my least favorite of the series, ties up some of the loose ends. Unfortunately, this final book takes place one generation from the lovable Mendenbar and Cimorene, and it is kind of disconcerning to lose them but keep Wrede's wit. But, the series is fun, the characters are (for the most part) wonderful and unforgettable, and it is a very creative (but underrated) fantasy series that I strongly recommend.

Summary: Young Adult Must-Read!
Review: I loved Patricia C. Wrede's Enchanted Forest Series when I read it in middle school! Fortunately, I came across this series in someone's wishlist! I am going to buy the boxed series not only for myself but for my sister-in-law who will turn 14 next month!

Patricia Wrede succeeds in taking your imagination on a journey in which you are swept into the lives of the characters and the beauty of the imaginary world.

I wish my memory served me better but I know this at least: Every book in the Enchanted Forest Series is worth sharing and I wish I could give Wrede's series a 6!

Summary: A wonderful fantasy series!
Review: I read the Enchanted Forest Chronicles when I was very young, and I'm glad that I did! It was my first fantasy series I ever read, and it was as addicting then as it is now, and I'm in college! (This new boxed set is such a treat, it was so hard finding good copies of every book!) It's perfect reading for anyone of any age, and it has such a wonderful story and great characters. I recommend this series to anyone who loves fantasy!

Summary: loved it
Review: i read this series a loooong time ago (years ago), and since then, i have never failed to read the entire series at least once a year... it is that good. although it is meant for YA readers, older readers will undoubtedly fall in love with it; i can assure you i have.

Summary: One of The Best Books I Ever Read, My Favorite!
Review: I recommend this book to anyone. I loved it. I have read it more than once now, once just after it came out and again not long ago. It is a very involved novel, and you get into it very quickly. It is long, so when you don't want the good to end, when you are really hooked, it doesn't. Even still, in the end, you wish it was a neverending book, because it is that good. In short, this is a very well written book, a very good read, and I would recommend it to anyone, but good luck finding one. I hope you enjoy this book as much I did, more than once.
