Dealing With Dragons

Patricia Wrede truly is one of the great authors, tackling various storylines. Her trademark is magic of some sort, but not in the normal way we think of magic. Magic definitely has its own complications. The same is true in her Enchanted Forest Series.

In the first book we meet, Cimorene, a bored, yet intelligent princess who runs away to escape an unwanted marriage. And that's all I'm going to tell you. This is one of those books that you just have to read for yourselves. It will make you look at fairy tales in a completely different light.
