![]() Her parents, the king and queen, were well aware of Cimorene’s stubbornness and decided something needed to be done about her, and quickly. When she was told that her actions were not proper and certain things were “just not done” by a princess, she had perfectly valid argument she was a princess and she was doing those things, therefore those things were done by at least one princess. ![]() She did not want to waste time with embroidery, dancing and etiquette. ![]() She wanted to learn magic, take fencing lessons and cook. Her six older sisters were typical princesses, but not Cimorene. Princess Cimorene found the whole princess thing completely unbearable. Lovers of humor, fantasy or books with a strong female lead will not be disappointed. I cannot recommend this excellent and highly entertaining series enough. Talking to Dragons (1985) was published first and had three subsequent prequels, with Searching for Dragons (1991) and Calling on Dragons (1993) completing the series. Chronologically it takes place first in The Enchanted Forest Chronicles, which consists of four books. Fans of Tamora Pierce, Diana Winn Jones, Bruce Coville, or Terry Pratchet should thoroughly enjoy Patrica Wrede as well.ĭealing with Dragons is one of my favorite middle readers in any genre. Her writing is fast paced and wry her characters are interesting and witty and the worlds she creates are fully formed and ever so appealing. ![]() Patricia Wrede (pronounced REE-dee) is a fantasy writer, and a fantastic storyteller.
