The Enchanted Forest Chronicles by Patricia C. Wrede

That's not that relevant to the review, but there's my reasoning. I don't like to keep books to long, when people lend them to me. I read it because I felt guilty for not reading my friend's book sooner. I didn't read it because I wanted to at that time. I also don't it was what I needed at the moment. I don't know if I'll pick up the next three books, I may just ask my friend what happens. It was pretty entertaining, and the characters were really cute. This wasn't a 5 star book for me, but I feel like a 10 year old me would love it. I feel like Wrede could have expanded more on her whole world, and I saw a lot of potential with a larger story. The last 25 pages were really gripping, and I really liked how it was ended, but for some reason I had to force myself to finish the middle part. I had to force myself to finish the last 75 pages. The middle was just very bland, and it didn't hook me much at all. Usually a 200 page book takes me a couple hours, but this book had me going for a couple days. The magic, world building, and character building was all there, but there wasn't anything dangerous about it that made me rush to find out what happened next. There wasn't any sense of peril, and the characters were never in any real danger. The beginning of the story sucked me in really quickly, but as I got into the middle of the book, I got really frustrated. I didn't like how blindly they followed what everyone else did, but I guess that's just apart of the story. What really irritated me was how stupid the other human characters were. She was so sassy and hardworking, I really loved her as a character. Her constant goal of being more that she's made out to be was such an admirable trait in a heroine. Even though the story was really short and definitely written for a younger audience.Ĭimorene was a very engaging and modern character. The characters were super cute, and and I really liked the way the series was going. This is a really funny middle grade fantasy story. She runs away to live with a dragon, and in the process she tries to discourage the knights from 'rescuing' her. This book is about a princess who doesn't want to be a princess.

My friend Donovan lent me a bind up of The Enchanted Forest Chronicles a couple weeks ago, and I pretty much went into it blindly.
