Publisher's summary

"Mother taught me to be polite to dragons...."

Daystar never thought he'd be walking through the Enchanted Forest with a magic sword, a fire-witch, and a baby dragon. He never dreamed his mother, Cimorene, would tell him to leave their home and not to return until his task was complete. Or that he alone held the power to release King Mendanbar and the Enchanted Forest from the wizards' evil spell. He doesn't even know who King Mendanbar is.

But Daystar learns quickly, and that's good, because he's about to encounter magic and wizards and dragons - quite a deadly combination.

A great fourth edition

This great fourth edition wraps up what happened in the third edition. A new character daystar without knowing what he’s doing is Sant into the enchanted forest to solve the problem which was left by the wizards. This time we find out more about fire witches. And the rest of the story line is wrapped up. This is as I understand at the last book in this series. However there is a short story. With any luck audible might get the anthology the short story was published in. Personally i have always hoped the author might return to this story line.

An entertaining story from start to finish

Just like the rest of the Enchanted Forest Chronicles, this book is funny, lighthearted, and an absolute blast from start to finish.

Good book, but some poor performances

This is a good story, with interesting characters. This audio version, however, suffers from exaggerated readings—especially, but not only, Ciara’s—which some actors seem to feel necessary for children’s productions. Screeching and overdone voices distract from the story.

excellent ending to a series.

great story overall, but there are chapters that are boring and slow. plus at times the voice of Shiara is very very low and hard to hear. otger than that I love this book!

Wonderful, funny fantasy.

This is a great book and lots of fun read by a cast of actors. Good listening for me and my kids.

Great ending to a series

This story was a great ending to family friendly series. The narration and overall production were excellent.

Live these books!

I absolutely love these books! The only problem I had was that some voices are louder than others.

Good Book

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Yes, I would. The story is not an uncommon one, but it is new or well an old take on a good idea.

What did you like best about this story?

The characters are truly memorable, and you will never get them mixed up.

Any additional comments?

Only problem I have with this audio recording is near the end in Chapter 20, there is some audio issues. It sounds like someone tapping on the speakers or headphones. I think it might just be because of age from the original recording. But past that great recording.

Charming Fantasy

A nostalgia trip for me. I first read the series in school many years ago and I still find it a charming story over a decade later.

loved the voice cast returning for one more advent

did a wonderful job of bringing the concluding story of the enchanted forest Chronicles to life. some of it is a little over done, which is probably best for younger readers/listeners, but can be a bit much when trying to listen as a family.
