A review by booksnorkel
Talking to Dragons by Patricia C. Wrede

4.0

Not my favorite in the series, but after learning that it was written first I'll let it slide. I always forget that I want to try to read this book first when I'm doing one of my re reads of this series but oh well, I'll just have to try again later... haha. Not as many fairy tale nods in this one this is still a fun story and does tie everything up neatly for those who have read the others.

--------------------------
This one isn't really my favorite in the series, perhaps it is because of how this one is written. This one has the first person perspective and all the others are third. Honestly this is my only complaint. Though it wasn't until like two days ago that I discovered that this book was written first, and all the others are only prequels.

THAT IS MIND BLOWING

Just totally and utterly mind blowing. Especially since in one of the chapters is them recapping all the other books it's crazy how well they all come together. Great read for those 11 and up.

Basically every time I read this I find something that I missed, or totally forgot about. I love that about books, and I think that there is always something new to find even in a a beloved book. For many this one is harder to get through because the characters that we know and love are only on the sidelines, and the usual poke and references to the older Grimm tales are almost none existent. I chalk that up to the fact that this book was the first written and that there wasn't really a total idea yet.
