Book #48 of 2018:
Calling on Dragons by Patricia C. Wrede (Enchanted Forest Chronicles #3)
I’ve liked the first two books in this children’s fantasy series, but this third one is a misfire for me. Its issues might not trouble a younger reader, but the humor is way more slapstick than before, and the new character of Killer the enchanted rabbit takes up far too much space being far too annoying (his catchphrase, repeated ad nauseum: “I’m HUNGRY”). The plot is thin and ends on a cliffhanger, so I just hope the fourth and final book is nothing like this one.
★★☆☆☆
