I've done reading the whole series, so will copy these comments to 3rd and 4th book, too.

Love the humor. Love the breezy adventure and endearing characters. Each book focuses on different folks, but the sequence events counts, and I do not recommend trying to read them as stand-alones. The ending of #2 is a bit worrisome, and the ending of #3 is a cliff-hanger, and #4 does have some intensity not necessarily suitable for the youngest readers. On the whole, they're clean and fun, I'd say fine for ages 9 up but if your younger child wants to read them you should also.

Um, they're also not really memorable - they're probably best suited for people who like to reread books because there's a lot going on, but nothing heavy enough to make an impact on the reader's worldview. I know it's partly my fault because I read them so fast - but then, they were fast reads, and I couldn't help it. ( )

The second book in the fun series Enchanted Forest Chronicles!
This sequel features the return of the beloved characters in the first book, while introducing a new character that you are sure to warm up to rather fast. It's not so vastly different than the first book.
Read my review of the first book here, as it pertains to the series: https://www.librarything.com/work/9998/reviews/228352538 ( )

Kazul has gone missing, and Cimorene sets out to find her, teaming up with Mendanbar, King of the Enchanted Forest, along the way. (The verbose research magician Telemain joins their group as well.) Another excellent installment! ( )

Thoroughly enjoyable! Loved it! ( )

And now a story from the Prince’s perspective – only he’s a king, King Mandanbar, the King of the Enchanted Wood. And even though everyone thinks he needs to get married, since he’s overworked, he absolutely refuses to have anything to do with princesses. Luckily for him, Cimorene is not your ordinary princess, and when she needs some assistance rescuing the King of the Dragons, Mandanbar gets the chance to get to know her. Solid and entertaining fantasy, with no cloying sweetness or condescending manners. ( )
