I give this book five stars because it is one of my favorite books. If you like Dragons, Knights, Princesses, and Fairy Tales then I am sure you will love this book. This is the first book in a series of four. If you read this book, you'll want to read the other three. Patrica C. Wrede does a great job writing this book. She makes you feel like you are the princess Dealing with Dragons.

Cimorene is a princess. She is the daughter of a proper king and queen. She is the youngest of seven. All six of her older sisters are proper as well. But Cimorene is not. She is too tall, has long jet black hair instead of blond hair, and is very stubborn. She finds being a princess very dull and boring. Instead of the normal princess lessons of embroidery, etiquette, dancing, and the proper way to curtsy to an ambassador, she bullies her teachers into teaching her something else. Fencing, cooking, magic, and economics are just a few of the things. After being forbidden from these lessons she takes the only option remaining; she runs away to be the princess of a very powerful dragon, Kuzal. While with Kuzal she runs into a jinn, meets a witch, melts wizards, makes friends with a stone prince, tolerates annoying princesses, and fights a death dealing bird. And of course, meets a lot of dragons. Cimorene is a great hero, a princess by birth, and an adventurer by choice.
