Definitely the weakest of the series, but after finding out this one was actually written first and the others are technically prequels that makes sense.

I just have to say how refreshing it was to read a story about a teenage boy that is NOT an idiot. I frankly cannot remember the last time I did. He has no idea what's going on but he obeys his mother and he reasons in ways that had me nodding my head in agreement.
This ended up being a very fun book and I liked it a lot.

Not as good as the others. I found Daystar to be completely uninteresting. The first book in the series is the best.

While first person is not my favourite view for reading, I do like the ending for this series. I do miss Cimerone, Mendabar, and Kazul but I like that we went to the next generation as well. Just as good as I remember at least and it was good to visit an old book series after a long time of not reading them.

Another fun, lighthearted book in the Enchanted Forest Chronicles series. Filled with adventure, magic, dragons, and self-discovery. There is also Wrede's trademark moments of female empowerment. And this book even has a nod towards the power of good manners.
Fast-paced and entertaining.

Fun read, not my favorite of the series but a nice wrap up.

I honestly don't care whether these books are objectively good or bad because I enjoy them too much to worry about it & I love the idea that the strongest weapon in Daystar's arsenal is that his mother raised him to be polite.

3.5 stars. A quick read that kept the pages turning. The theme of politeness running throughout was humorous, and the careful manner in which information was revealed added tension and interest. The climax was excellent.
