This is a series for people who like fantasy with a dash of humor and a strong female heroine who is perfectly willing to tell the slightly stupid handsome prince he can kindly throw himself off a cliff. Add some dragons, a few wicked wizard, one very forward thinking witch, a floating blue donkey with a 6-foot wing span, and an entire kindgom made of magical threads and you might begin to understand the stories. Wrede has a way of pulling in a few old fairy tale favorites while forging a story completely unlike anything else. Worth the read!

I do wish that I’d read these sooner! They’re such amusing books with so much wit and reversed fairytale tropes.

I liked this book quite a lot.It was a lot of fun. The names were a bit too crazy, especially if you're reading aloud. They're good for young girls, because there is a female protagonist for much of the four books, as well as 3 romantic couples. They are also perfectly suitable for boys, because they're packed with adventure. The first book might be a bit too slow and girl oriented for most males, but if they get through it Boundless adventure follows.

War ganz nett als Sommerlektüre und ist natürlich sehr klar eingeteilt in Gut und Böse. Man merkt einfach, dass das letzte Buch zuerst geschrieben wurde, weil es im Vergleich zu den anderen einfach echt ein anderes Niveau hat. Das fängt bei der Ich-Perspektive an und hört bei der relativ langweiligen Story auf.

I loved this book! It distracted me for a great deal of time! Cimorene inspired me quite a bit!! I loved the fact that 'King' was a gender-neutral term for the dragon rulers, it made me feel very included! I plan on reading much more of Patricia C. Wrede's books! This was the first book I have read of hers! Amazing!!
