Book Review: Calling on Dragons by Patricia C. Wrede
Title: Calling on Dragons (Enchanted Forest Chronicles 3)
Author: Patricia C. Wrede
Published: HMH Books for Young Readers, 2015 (1993)
Rating: 2 of 5
Page Count: 245
Total Page Count: 536,270
Text Number: 1964
Read Because: continuing the series, ebook borrowed from the Multnomah County Library
Review: The witch Morwen leads a ragtag group to save the Enchanted Forest from wizards. Familiar premise, indeed; what differentiates it is the PoV; and I like Morwen, but we don't learn much about her and her clowder of talking cats runs into all number of cat-related tropes that I don't enjoy. I also don't like the new comic relief character. Or the ongoing Telemain communication gimmick, and all of these are running gags, and that's a lot of running gags to find frustrating in one short book. This didn't work for me, and it feels, even more than its predecessor, like it's just a setup for a "real" book.
