Rating: Summary: A cat's eye view Review: While Morwen the witch's cats were always part of the previous books, you could never gain their insight until now, and surprisingly they take over this book and become the feline stars of the show. Their dialogue is often clever and usually poking fun at the poor rabbit who was magicked into a donkey and later turns blue and sprouts wings. With parts of the forest disappearing, it seems the wicked wizards are up to no good again so Morwen along with Cimorene, Telemain, the dragon Kazul and some raggedy cats set off on another adventure to get to the bottom of it all. The fact that wizards can be melted with lemon scented cleaning solution is beaten over the reader's head until they want to puke. Some new characters are introduced, including a better look at the magicusers who have a natural affinity to playing with fire. Much better than the previous installment but still lacks the magic of the first. Wrede is running out of ideas at this point and milks the cliched world of fantasy for all it's worth, yet the novelty factor has sadly worn off. It's becoming very silly.... maybe things will look up in book 4?
Rating: Summary: A good third edition to the series Review: This was probably my least favorite of the series but it was still very good. Though it moved somewhat slow at times, it still had exciteing parts and ended in a huge cliffhanger. Morwen's point of view was very interesting, especially since I had never really paid much attention to her beforehand. I do wish though, that Cimorene had had a daughter instead of a son since that would have been vastly more interesting. I would reccamend this series to anyone who enjoys fantasy, though kids ten to fifteen would probably like it the best.
Rating: Summary: A silly portion of the series Review: When I first read Dealing with Dragons when it came out, I loved it so much that I decided to read the rest of the series. I finished Searching for Dragons, thought that it was okay and proceded onto this one. I never finished it. I got it from the library and never found the will to finish it. Surprisingly, this is now my favorite part of the series. I thought when I started it again that I wouldn't like it as much, since Morwen was never the strongest character in my head... I wanted more of Cimorene... but this book is seriously as good as Dealing with Dragons, if not better. I laughed out loud at this one. Morwen's encounters with the flying blue-donkey/rabbit named Killer is silly, but it is her conversations with the cats that made me giggle repeatedly. Although the end leaves you hanging, it just makes you want to read the next book even more. So, yes, read the whole series... :)
Rating: Summary: This book is the COOLEST! Review: Hi If you'll take the time to read my review, I'll write it. This book is about a queen,dragon, two witchs, nine wait TEN cats,king, and a oversized blue floating donkey.The adventures are exciting. I suggest you read this.
Rating: Summary: Fantastic, and more involved! Review: I first read the enchanted forest chronicles when I was about 10 (i'm now 16), and they were and are still some of my favorite books. I have now read them many times, and love to just cuddle up with one on a bad day and enjoy the familiar characters. I'm not sure which of the four books is my favorite. I love the second one for the conflict between Cimorene and Mendanbar and then the Romance. Yet this third is also great, yet not quite so jolly. I love that other people such as Morwen and the cats have a greater role. I suppose the one thing that keeps this book from being the best of the series is the ending. Everything is not settled, though it is in the next book. So it's not quite as good of a satisfying frivolous and cheery read as the others. Absolutely read it anyways though, because it is so enjoyable. PS read them in order, don't start w/ this one.
Rating: Summary: PerfectBook@Perfect.com Review: I loved It!!!!!!!! I told friends abought it and they loved it too. The same characters from the first two books are back. It is a great book for magic lovers.
Rating: Summary: Great Book! Review: This book is my favorite book in the Enchanted Forest Chronicles although you should not read it if you have not read the others first. When I read most books I skip the chapter titles but in this book they are half the fun (i.e. in which it is very muddy)and the end keeps you wanting more
Rating: Summary: Breathless Review: All the chronicles of these four books are just too hard to get away from. I read them and I just can't stop. After Calling on Dragons I just had to know what was going to happen to King Mendanbar! Trust me. If you like Fantasy, you'll love these four books!
Rating: Summary: A good book in a great series! Review: A plot against the dragons . . . a plot against the Enchanted Forest! Those horible wizards have really done it this time! Wreaking havoc wherever they go, the wizards have attacked the King's castle in the Enchanted Forest! If you have read the earlier books, this will certainly keep the excitement going for you. If you haven't, read them first. As we continue on with Princess Cimorene as the new queen of the Enchanted Forest, a dastardly deed has been committed by the wizards! They have stolen the King's sword, which is tied into the Forest's magic! A quest to save King Mendanbar's sword (and kingdom) is on! With crazy sideplots (such as rabbits turned into donkeys), this adventure will keep you tied up! Read it!
Rating: Summary: The Enchanted Forest Chronicles is the BEST book I have read Review: Although Calling on Dragons isn't the best book in the series, I certainly enjoyed it. My personal favorite of the series is "Dealing With Dragons" but "Calling on Dragons" is well worth reading.
