Quirky and entertaining, with great characters and a swiftly moving plot. This book was everything I expect of a Jasper Fforde story, scaled for a young audience.
Another interesting adventure into the magically bureaucratic world of Jennifer Strange. Delightful, but once again rather abrupt in its ending, as once again the whole tale takes place over a handful of days. I wish that these books were 200 pages longer so we could explore more of these characters and this world.
This was a good sequel to The Last Dragonslayer. Quirky, but not too badly and lots of humor and fun characters.

I thought that a series called "The Last Dragonslayer" would have a lot more dragons in it but, granted, since it is about the slayer and not about the dragon, I suppose I can't be too disappointed. This second book in the series is quite a fun read; I really like learning more about the other wizards and the history of the Ununited Kingdom and getting to see the wizards working together was really fun!

I want a Transient Moose. I also can't wait until my daughter reads these books so she can know the awesomeness that is Jasper Fforde. Is this book a literary behemoth? Not hardly. But I never have more fun than when reading Ffrode's work.
