“Mother taught me to be polite to dragons.” Daystar never thought he’d be walking through the Enchanted Forest with a magic sword, a fire-witch, and a baby dragon. He never dreamed his mother, Cimorene, would tell him to leave their home and not to return until his task was complete. Or that he alone held the power to release King Mendanbar and the Enchanted Forest from the wizards’ evil spell. He doesn’t even know who King Mendanbar is. But Daystar learns quickly—and that’s good, because he’s about to encounter magic and wizards and dragons. Quite a deadly combination.

"At first I wasn't sure I liked this as well as the other books in the series. Where was Morwen and her cats? More importantly, where was Telemain??? But I really grew to appreciate Daystar, Shiara, and the dragon. A very fun end to the series."
— Meredith (5 out of 5 stars)
" Fun like the others. :) "
— Alisha, 2/15/2014" I must say I was mildly disappointed that the main characters in this book were not the same ones from the previous 3 books in the series. While it was a fun story, I would have liked more from Cimorene, after all she's the one who started the whole series out! "
— Stephanie, 2/12/2014" As with any series I think it difficult to read about characters who have grown up but you known them since their birth or even before that. Although I do have to say Patricia did not disappoint. "
— Library, 2/5/2014" This one has not gotten better, nor even remained as good, with age. "
— Artifice, 1/13/2014" I loved it! I was really glad Wrede changed POVs for this book. It was welcome change. I wish this wasn't the last one in the series. :( I'm a little sad about that. "
— SheWunders, 1/8/2014" Patrcia C. Wrede is a fantastic author! The Enchanted Forest Chronicles are all great books! "
— Jennifer, 12/21/2013" This is a unique book in the Enchanted Forest Chronicles, as it's told in first person. But very amusing. Loved it! "
— Michelle, 11/26/2013" A bit light, but sometimes I need that. I prefer the Lyra series, but this still gets rereads "
— Dwer, 11/22/2013" Another great book by Patricia Wrede. You have to read the previous ones in the series before you start this one. Highly recommend the whole seires. "
— Shanti, 9/12/2013" I tried to read this, but it didn't work. It was so boring! "
— Chloe, 8/2/2013" Again, this one is also awsome too! i recommend u 2 read this! :D "
— Yuri, 5/8/2013" My favorite of the series! "
— Alexandria, 4/2/2013" The conclusion to the series. There's a bit of a time jump and the style is actually a bit different, but I think it totally fits in with the rest of the series and it really is a great way to conclude the series. :) "
— Tatra, 3/22/2013" Just like the other books in the series I found this one enchanting and hard to put down. I loved this series as a child and hope my children will feel the same one day too. "
— Christina, 11/5/2012" I love the all her books. "
— Amanda, 7/13/2012" 3 1\2 stars. My least favorite of the series but still quite good. Recommended for all! "
— Elevetha, 3/30/2012" daystar is awesome! "
— Catwarrior, 2/24/2012" Not your average getting moved out of the house story especially when your mom sends you off with a sword! Love it! "
— Jessie, 7/20/2011" I like this series, it's cute and fun, but I have liked each book a little less than its predecessor. The first book was definitely the best. "
— Allison, 1/21/2011" Daystar didn't know anything about himself at all until the wizard Antorell came to call on his mother one day. From there, he sets out on his own, and learns a thing or two abut himself, others, and just plain useful information! "
— Caroline, 7/11/2010" "Talking to Dragons" is an improvement over the lame duck third novel, but it still falls wretchedly short of the high standard set in the first and second books. Bah. "
— Priscilla, 9/22/2008" Patricia Wrede's Enchanted Forest Chronicles are all wonderful. She writes within the lines of classic fairy tales with her tongue firmly in cheek, and her characters question the strictures of their world. "
— Jenna, 8/31/2008" This is perhaps my least favorite in the series, but it was still a wonderful, witty book. "
— Hannah, 7/24/2008" I really enjoyed the first two books in this series but the second two were just ok. This book was a bit better than the third one but not up to the standard of the first two. "
— Brittany, 6/8/2008Patricia C. Wrede has written many novels, including Sorcery and Cecelia, or The Enchanted Chocolate Pot and The Grand Tour, coauthored with Caroline Stevermer, as well as several books in her own series, the Enchanted Forest Chronicles. She lives near Minneapolis, Minnesota.
