Summary: The book was wonderful and really funny!
Review: "Calling on Dragons" was a great book. The entire series is. I highly reccomend it. It is easy reading and really funny. Wrede pokes fun at different fairy tales while telling a great story with a page-turning plot. Read it!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: OMIGOD!!!!!
Review: This is easily the best book of the series. I loved the entire series but this was REALLY good. I loved how all the cats have their own opions. It is amazingly good. For ur sake, READ IT!!!!! U will not regret it. Thanks, Morwen.

P.S. Argelfraster. U'll have to read the book to know what that means. It is SO great! READ THE BOOK! that is not an option; that is a command for ur own good.

Summary: I can't summarize my love for this series in one line!!!!!!!
Review: This is possibly the best book in the series, using all the lovable characters, except the dragons were not represented as much as I'd like them to be. One of the things that makes this book so special is that it is written from a third-person perspective that follows Morwen, giving you a look into the hilarious personalities and prejudices of her nine cats. Although the synopsis may make the plot appear cheesy, it's perfectly logical for the series. And I do so love that logical magic that Telemain so eloquently describes, making you feel as if that, if you had the right tools, you could create your own spell. It seems to share this trait with Star Wars, where everything, no matter how outlandish, has a purpose, reason, and beliveable definition of how it works.I know I'm just agreeing with all the other reviewers on this page, but what does it do but boost the support? I must agree with various reviewers on this page, Telemain and Fiddlesticks are my favorite characters, and a book that follows Telemain would be wonderful, but I'm not asking for some disapointing late sequel. His wild "technospeak" is beautifully confusing to some, yet fascinatingly descriptive to those with the bravery to decipher it alone. I must agree with the other fans here, these books are reassuringly always rereadable.

You know something, I could go on and on for pages about these books, but I think I better stop here and finish my homework.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: SO COOL!!!! ( Argelfraster )
Review: I loved this book!!!! I got to read more on Morwen's cats. ( I like Fiddlesticks!!! ) This was a great book! (can't say it enough!) I've got to read the next one! Telemain is my fav. (even though he talks in a very cofusing way) A must read book!!!!!!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Gripping and enchanting
Review: This is the fist Patricia C. Wrede book I ever read. Once I finished this one, I couldn't wait to find the other three books!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: THIS IS THE BEST BOOK IN THE WORLD!
Review: I have read the series five times, and calling on dragons six. This book is soooo good. I think that anyone who likes fantasy should read this book. (But the other boks should bo read first) Mrs wrede is definately a very talented writer! READ IT!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Wonderful book, wonderful series!
Review: All of the Enchanted Forest Chronicles books sparkle with fun and imagination. They are all great! The characters seem alive, each have their own personality. Patricia Wrede creates a fantastical world full of mythical creatures and ingenious magic and spells. The whole series is definately worth reading!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I love these books!
Review: I loved the whole series! You should read this series. This series is adventorous, exciting,why,it's the best series of all time!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: perfect
Review: These books are my all time favorites. I love books with talking animals(Brian Jacques redwall books included) and mythical beasts such as Kazul, the female Dragon king. This book wasn't my favorite out of all of the others, the first one clams that honor. Especially Morwen's cats. Fiddlesticks and Miss Eliza Scorn were my favorites but, all the nine cats have wonderful chemistry. I would recomend the Enchanted Eorest Chronicles books to any one. i have read theses books 5 times since i got them.

Rating: 5 stars
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."
