Enchanted Forest Chronicles

Dealing with Dragons by Patricia C. Wrede

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


I'd read and enjoyed this as a child, and it definitely holds up as an adult.

Cimorene is a fantastic character. I love the way she takes her destiny into her own hands and helps those around her to achieve their destinies. I can't wait to see what happens to her in the new role she adopts at the end of the novel.

I didn't realize it was part of a series when I was a kid, so I only read this first book in the series. I'm really looking forward to reading the next book.

Be aware-- The fourth book in the series was written and published first. It kind of constrained events in books 1-3. Book 4 got rewritten after the other three came out, but I think it was more to smooth out the prose and characterization than it was to change anything major about the plot (haven't done a point for point comparison).

Book two has a different (male) POV character. Cimorene is in it, eventually, but isn't in the first couple of chapters.
