Dealing with Dragons

[unforth]

It makes me so happy that people have read Dealing with Dragons. I read that book when I was in 4th grade, and I have frequently credited it with my becoming the fantasy geek I am today. Before that, I read mainstream kid stuff, like Babysitters Club and Boxcar Children and Little House books. Within a year of reading Wrede, I had read Piers Anthony, David Eddings, Terry Brooks, Tolkien, Robert Jordan, and more...yeah...anyway, I have lots of work to do, but it makes me happy.

Here's what got me, and it's really simple.

In the second book, we discover the simple fact that Morwen's cats can penetrate the wizards' barriers.

What has Mendenbar trapped in the castle? One of the wizards' barriers.

Case closed. This was so obvious to me that I WROTE AN ALTERNATE ENDING TO THE THIRD BOOK when I was a kid. Seriously.

Well, that, and the characters were really weak! They just seemed to lack -life-.
