great series (2008-06-12)

this is about a princess who's captured by a dragon, and then chooses to stay with the dragon rather than wait to get rescued by a prince. in fact when a prince comes to rescue her in the first book she turns him away, all of them. the series follows the pattern of a typical 'princess story' and the princess is put in a bunch of stereotypical princess situations, but then she defies the stereotype and takes charge of her own life and makes things happen for herself. basically she beats up her own bad guys, with her brain. there are boys in the series, but she isn't waiting for them to save the day, she takes them along for the ride. the dragon who kidnapped her ends up being one of her good friends. it's a fun series i really enjoyed in elementary school, but it an appropriate read for anyone interested in the plot (as are all stories... age ranges close your mind). a light fun read, i recommend.

A fun and lovable series (2006-03-07)

This is a really good book series, they are fun, addicting, and easy to read/follow. The first book could easily stand on its own, but the whole series is well written.

They are all based on Princess Cimorene, a not-so-typical princess who looks for adventure and drama in a life of sewing, etiquette, and gossip. She is the tomboy of her time. She finds an escape route, and manages to befriend dragons, where she is hired on as a Dragon Princess. There the true adventure begins, for all the books. There are a wide variety of characters who you come to know and love in each book. Each story is a whole new plot, but you still have the same characters, and that familarity.

Wrede did a great job when she wrote these books, and I'd definitely recommend them for a light and fun read.

What's Not To Like? (2004-05-26)

They're funny, they're charming, they're clever, and they've got great cover illustrations. I love them. Don't get me wrong, I adore good old fairy tales as well, but you take that and give it a twist, and you have the best parody ever! I only have one problem, and that is with the first book. Cimorene seems to blink every two pages over something. Yes, I am perfectly well aware that blinking is a normal funtion of everyday life, but why it's necessary to tell the reader that Cimorene's doing it every chance you get is beyond me. You don't hear "Cimorene inhaled" anywhere in the book. Regardless. They're absolutely worth the money, although I lucked out when my aunt picked up the complete volume for me at her used bookstore. If I didn't own them, I would buy them. And I advise anyone with a sense of humour and a taste for light fantasy to do so as well.

Spell-binding! (2004-04-08)

What a fun and exciting series! I'm a grandma, and the books kept me spell-bound. I particularly appreciate the fact that the characters are rather atypical, and that the stories offer some fresh new ways to consider or present social and moral values--like acceptance and courtesy.

A Forest with a Mind of It's Owm (2004-03-23)

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!!!
