Calling on Dragons by Patricia C. Wrede

4.0

Princess Cimorene is now Queen Cimorene, and Patricia C. Wrede has populated the Enchanted Forest with some new characters. She may have written these books for a YA audience, but even adult readers will find that the characters change, grow, and mature. Calling on Dragons is narrated by the witch Morwen. We've been introduced to her in the first two books in the series, but she plays a larger role here, especially because she is the only one who can communicate with her nine cats. The Society of Wizards wants the magic that is present in the Enchanted Forest, and they've also stolen the enchanted sword that is tied to the forest's magic. Will the sword be found, recovered, and wielded by someone good or evil? This book ends on a cliffhanger, but I have no doubt that Patricia Wrede will build further on the solid foundation she has laid in the first three books and provide a satisfying resolution to the power struggle in the fourth book.
