Wish the story wrapped nicely in this one, it feels like book 3 part 1. Ah well, still fun.

Solid, exciting adventure. My least favorite in the series but doesn’t make it bad. This one has a darker, heavier tone than the others. Re-reading after a long time, and maybe it’s my recent mood, but I’m noticing how angry, snarky everyone is to one another. There are so funny moments, and many of the villains get their comeuppance. Morwen and her cats are just the best. This book focuses in on her perspective rather than Cimorene. All in all a good comfort read to start the winter season.

Witty and fun, I love this book along with the others. I think it's great that we now have Morwen's point of view and how she interacts with all of her cats. I love all the little nod's Wrede does to the old fairy tales. Even with the Old MacDonald song. This is a great series and I'm pretty sure it's one of those books that will always make me smile, always make me laugh, and always be in my library. For fourth grade on up.

I feel like more people need to know about this series. I know of two other people who love this series as much as I do. It's a series where you don't have to worry about anything being too much. There is enough adventure, fantasy, magic, animals, princesses, love, and humor. This is just a great find.

When I read this when I was 12 or 13, this series was one of my favorites. While it is still fun, it is not as good as I remembered it being. I think it just works better for a younger audience. I'm rating it a "3" because I feel nostalgic about this series, but it was probably more of a "2" for a reread. I only have one more book in the series to reread, but I'm not sure I'm going to do it. We'll see if I get around to it. Still, the characters are likable and funny. Although the plot is silly, it is a fun, lighthearted read (which sometimes is much needed!). I would definitely recommend this series for younger readers but maybe not so much for adults (even adults that still love YA and middle grade).

I loved Morwen as a narrator, especially her interactions with her cats. ^_^ The multi-threading conversations gave the story a bit more depth.
Nostalgia factor: This is the first book series I remember reading where I had to wait for the next book to come out and of course, it was after reading the first 3 books that I discovered this. I remember being on pins and needles to see what would happen next.
I was happy to see that this book lived up to my memory of it. (Only this time I can move straight to book 4!)

In which Cimorene assumes her gender role and has a baby.
