In alternating chapters this Wings of Fire special edition takes listeners back to the very beginning, when powerful, mythical dragons Clearsight, Fathom, and Darkstalker - the most dangerous dragon of all - were just dragonets. When the future was bright and uncertain, when no one had been betrayed or had their heart broken.

My Favorite
Would you consider the audio edition of The Land of Stories: The Enchantress Returns to be better than the print version?
Best Series ever! Both my 13yr old, 9yr old and nieces etc... love this series! heard that the movie is coming out in summer of 2017. Great job Chris- super talented author and narrator! Recommended for boys and girls of all ages!
Who was your favorite character and why?
Conner- because he is cool, funny nice and he has the power to travel into different worlds!
What does Chris Colfer bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
My 9 yr old read book 1 and 2 and listen to 3 and 4 on audible. He said it made the characters some to lose, so he re-listened to book 1 and 2 on audible to get more out of the series. Their dying to hear another!
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
"twisted adventure"
Any additional comments?

Second in the series continues the adventure
Would you consider the audio edition of The Land of Stories: The Enchantress Returns to be better than the print version?
I haven't read the print version but this is a great book on audio. Fairy tale fantasy type stories seem to translate really well to the audio format.
What did you like best about this story?
The fresh take on fairy tale stories we all know. Enjoyable for all ages.
Have you listened to any of Chris Colfer’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
My 11 year old and I listened to his first book as well (the prior book in this series). They were very similar so if you liked the last one, you will likely enjoy this as well.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
There were several funny moments.
Any additional comments?
Colder isn't my favorite narrator which surprised me since he's an actor. He has a flat quality to his voice which I didn't really like. I preferred other narrators in this genre like Bronson Pinchot and Johnny Heller.
That said, my 11 year old liked the narration. He also found the story engrossing.

Wonderful to listen to in the car!
I love this series so far! I have to say that my favorite thing about them is the way Chris Colfer brings every character to life with his many different voices. I know I would still love them if I were reading instead of listening. There's never a dull moment. As soon as the book is over you're ready to start the next!
