This series has a serious problem with the audiobooks because the voices aren’t balanced so some are loud and some I can hardly hear. It made it really difficult to listen to while in the car.
The book wasn’t bad. It was a clear series wrap up and I thought it very unnecessary to provide a detail of all four books. I can see why people like this series, but I don’t think it aged well. There are much better fantasy series out there. Once again, this book has a character I couldn’t stand listening to (baby dragon). I wish they had given more care into character creation; all the characters are one dimensional.

My least favorite of the series but still a great conclusion to the series.

I am relieved to be finished with this series. Dealing with Dragons was fun and fresh, but the three following books were utter disappointments. Talking to Dragons is, ultimately, extremely repetitive. This is because Daystar has no idea what the heck is going on, so other more knowledgeable characters have to fill him in on information readers already know because they, uh, read the previous books. This culminates in a very "tell, not show" recap of the first three books at the end, which sadly gave me more information about the wizards' intentions than the books themselves ever did. Also, it's still not clear to me what happened to Antorell at the end. I am disappointed by the trend of having the action (the war between dragons and wizards, Kazul eating Zemenar in #3, Antorell's casual banishment) take place offscreen, with much more dull happenings appearing onscreen. Daystar does not have much of a personality, and Shiara is annoying and selfish. I stand by my opinion of reading #1 and ignoring the rest.

I. LOVE. THESE. BOOKS. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a quick, easy, and fun fantasy story that'll stay with you. I've read this series more times than I can count and I enjoy it every time and rediscover things about the characters. I recommend this for kids, and everyone older, because it had such a great influence on me and has such great messages. Love!
I really loved this book in particular, as someone who grew up reading this series, to be reading from someones P.O.V. who doesn't know all the reader knows, but who is also in a way growing up (obviously literally surrounded) by the series as well. I always love this book every time I reread it.

In this book, Cimorene takes a back seat and Daystar, her son, becomes the MC of the book.
The writing changes from third person to first person in this book, but that didn't deter me too much.
Wizards, a baby dragon, a fire witch, and a mysterious adventure into the heart of Enchanted Forest hinder and help Daystar.
Along the way, old friends pop up to say hello for the final time as the showdown between the wizards and all those fighting against them.
A very good conclusion to a funny series.
