- stay
- free
- from
- the
- clutches
- of
- pesky
- princes.This
- updated
- edition
- features
- a
- new
- introduction

- of
- excitement,
- sly
- references
- to
- the
- staples
- of
- fantasy
- and
- fairy
- tales,
- and
- good
- humor.
- Cimorene
- is
- of
- a
- sisterhood
- that
- includes
- Menolly,
- the
- dragonsinger
- of
- Anne
- McCaffrey’s
- Dragonsong;
- and
- Avi’s
- Morwenna
- of
- Bright
- Shadow,
- but
- Wrede’s
- delightful
- voice
- is
- all
- her
- own.”—School

- (starred
- review).“What
- a
- charmer!
- A
- decidedly
- diverting
- novel
- with
- plenty
- of
- action
- and
- .
- .
- .
- laugh-out-loud
- reading
- pleasure.”—Booklist
- (starred
- review)“Smoothly
- written
- and
- ingenious
- fantasy.
- Both
- Cimorene
- and
- her
- dragon
- are
- firmly
- drawn,
- tough-minded
- females
- who
- refuse
- to
- conform
- to
- stereotypes
- (being
- female
- doesn’t
- prevent
- a
- dragon
- from
- becoming
- king).
- The
- touch
- of
- feminist
- persuasion
- only
- adds
- to
- the
- story’s
- charm.”—Kirkus
- Reviews“This
- was
- a
- delightful
- read,
- in
- every
- sense.”—SFF
- Book Reviews
