Excerpt: Talking to Dragons is a young adult fantasy novel, the fourth and final book in the Enchanted Forest Chronicles by Patricia Wrede. It is told in first person from the point of view of sixteen-year-old Daystar, son of Cimorene, a woman who lives at the edge of the Enchanted Forest. Cimorene raises Daystar and teaches him legends about the Enchanted forest, swordsmanship, spells, and magical protocols. One day, Antorell, a member of the Society of Wizards, who has a grudge against Cimorene tries to assault them. Then, Cimorene melts Antorell with a spell, which raises many questions in Daystar's mind because he didn't know that his mother could do any magic. However, Cimorene refuses to answer Daystar's questions, and goes into the Enchanted Forest to retrieve a sword, and gives it to Daystar. She then sends him into the forest telling him not to come back until he can "tell her why he had to leave." When Daystar enters the forest, he meets a talking golden lizard named Suz, who tells Daystar that the sword Cimorene gave him is the Sword of the Sleeping King. Daystar, confused about what all this can mean, is instructed by Suz to "follow the sword." Trying to find a place to spend the night, he enters the middle of a ring of hedges and finds a young fire witch named Shiara, who can sometimes do fire magic but can only do it periodically. The wizards heard about her lack of control and kidnapped her. However, she burned the Head Wizard's staff, ran away to the Enchanted Forest, and got caught in the middle of the hedges. Daystar tells Shiara about his quest, and she decides to accompany him. Afterwards, when Daystar shows Shiara...More: http: //booksllc.net/?id=689457

Enchanted Forest Chronicles: Talking to Dragons, Patricia Wrede, Calling on Dragons, Dealing With Dragons Reviews

  • Melissa Walshe

    Dealing with Dragons (the first in the series) is by far the best of the four books in this series--the main character is a princess who kicks some knightly and wizardly rumps and takes names in order to pursue her dreams of being more than a damsel in distress. The entire series, however, is worth a read, and both the content matter and the writing make them a great choice for younger readers. If you want your kids to grow up accepting that female heroes can be just as awesome and interesting as male heroes, this is a good set to include in your roundup.

  • Evan Peterson

    Lucky to find a hard cover omnibus edition of the series signed by the author ( albeit addressed to ‘Kurt’ ..If I find an unsigned edition will try to track down the author at a con or something to sign one to me..) at my local used bookstore.

    Rereading this local authors work. Five Star all the way.

    Highly recommended to fans of Terry Pratchett for its humorous and fun exploration of fantasy/fable tropes. Empowered young female characters throughout.

  • Beka

    This series is one I read again and again. I cannot wait to share it with my nieces. Strong female characters, hilarious takes on fairy tale dynamics and many many personalities.
    I LOVE Patricia Wrede's books.

  • Hannah Accampo

    Great book for younger kids, up to young adults. It is full of fantasy, romance,lots of dragons, wicked plots, adventures etc... all the stuff good books are made of. The only problem I had with it was that it was kind of childish at times. The plot will grab your attention, from the first time you meet the main character, you like her. She is unorthodox, and completely changes your perspective of a good princess, if not her parents'. In a kingdom about as normal as you can get, she is bored out of her mind with the monotony of it, and tries anything she can to keep from going mad. All of the books are good (it was origonally 4 seperate books) but my favorites are Dealing with dragons and talking with dragons. The other two are also very good, just not my favorites.

  • Amber

    My daughter and I loved this series, and as a parent of a young girl, I love that the lead character is a princess (because Em loves princesses) but she strong-minded, independent, intelligent and a more solid personality than most lead princess characters

  • Cari Mcconnell

    These books had a hand in shaping my childhood.

  • Kristen Post

    I loved these books, especially the first. Excellent tone, unique plot, and lovable characters, all in a book that I can (and often do) recommend to students of all reading levels. Very cute.

  • Gretchen

    These are great books for girls growing up to be strong women- fairy tales with no-nonsense heroines.

  • Jeanne

    I absolutely LOVED this series when I was younger - must have read it at least five times and 20 years later, I still fondly remember the characters and the stories. Good stuff.

  • Rachel

    Love this! Light hearten story with adventure and mythical creatures. Easy clean read!
