The Enchanted Forest Chronicles is a series of humorous fantasy novels by Patricia C. Wrede which spoof and reconstruct Fairytale Motifs.As the first book begins, forthright and tomboyish Princess Cimorene decides that she is tired of being a princess and doesn't much like the prince her parents are pushing at her. Her Fairy Godmother is no help, so she follows the advice of a talking frog and ends up offering her services to a dragon. The first three books in the series follow Cimorene's adventures. The fourth book (which was actually written first, then revised and reissued after the other three were completed) concerns her son Daystar.The books in the series are: Dealing with Dragons (1990) (Published in the UK as Dragonsbane) Searching for Dragons (1991) (Published in the UK as Dragon Search) Calling on Dragons (1993) Talking to Dragons (1985; revised version 1993).The four associated short stories are: "The Improper Princess" — first published in the anthology Spaceships and Spells (1987). It was later expanded into Dealing With Dragons. "The Princess, the Cat, and the Unicorn" — first published in the anthology The Unicorn Treasury (1988) and reprinted in Wrede's collection Book of Enchantments (1996). "The Sixty-Two Curses of Caliph Arenschadd" — first published in the anthology A Wizard's Dozen (1993) and reprinted in Book of Enchantments (1996). "Utensile Strength" — first published in Book of Enchantments (1996); set after Talking to Dragons.

All Witches Have Cats
 Enchanted Forest Chronicles / int_138fe57e
comment
All Witches Have Cats: Morwen owns nine cats, and it's explained that the more cats a witch has, the more power she can channel. Fire-witches also have cats — Brandel's is Horatio, who begins a romance with Morwen's cat Scorn. Seventeen years later, Morwen gives Shiara a kitten, whom she names Nightwitch. Arona Michaelear Grinogion Vamist is of the belief that "proper" witches have one black cat each, and anything else (like Morwen's having many, none of them black) goes against tradition and is therefore wrong.

comment
Rescue Romance: Played with. Therandil and other knights and princes attempt to invoke this with Cimorene; she's not having any of it though. She does discuss it with Alianora and admits that getting kidnapped by a dragon would be a good way for a princess in search of a husband to find a match. Morwen herself even admits that princesses from less well-off nations should actually be clamoring to become a Dragon’s princess as it practically guarantees a very good match as far as spouses are concerned especially if that spouse is also the heir to a more prosperous kingdom.

Lessons in Sophistication
 Enchanted Forest Chronicles / int_1562fc00
comment
Lessons in Sophistication: Cimorene's introduction is a review of her attempts to get better training than her standard Princess Lessons could provide, explaining that she has random cooking, fencing, and Latin skills because she'd bully experts in interesting subjects until they tutored her, much to the chagrin of her parents, who insisted these were not subjects for a "proper" princess to learn. All of these lessons — including the boring ones — turn out to be Chekhov's Skills. The only "princess" skill that is of any use to Cimorene is protocol, but only because she learned place settings with it and knows who to serve first.

While Grendel's remarks aren't translated, Trouble makes use of this trope (plus a stealth Shout-Out) when he yells back at him:

Men Can't Keep House
 Enchanted Forest Chronicles / int_171b1206
comment
Men Can't Keep House: Gender-neutral with the dragons, whose homes tend to be full of stuff just lying around; while cleaning, Cimorene thinks to herself that dragons in general aren't very tidy creatures. Of the three main dragons whose caves were seen or had their status referenced, Kazul's is the tidiest (though Cimorene still winds up picking up a lot of stuff that's just lying around where it doesn't belong), Kazul tells Cimorene (after visiting them for the first time) that the official vaults for the King of the Dragons are in even worse shape than Kazul's were when Cimorene first moved in, and Roxim's caves in particular are full of clutter to the point where he has a hard time finding anything and is visibly frustrated about it; Cimorene winds up having to help him find the item he's looking for. This is part of why they have princesses, to act as live-in maids and keep things clean and organized for them; after seeing the abysmal state of Roxim's caves, Cimorene makes a mental note to find a nice princess for him who can handle the job.

Genre Savvy: Everyone is this. Fairy tale tropes are part of the characters' daily life, expectations and conversation. That's one reason why Cimorene runs away — she wants something other than being forced into a role that she finds mindlessly boring with a prince who's just as bad if not worse.

comment
It's debatable whether Morwen would actually melt in water, given that only her cats decline baths in Calling on Dragons (though given that Cats Hate Water, it's to be expected). She does cite "clean living" as the reason she doesn't melt, which may imply that only evil witches have that weakness.

Royals Who Actually Do Something: Mendanbar, Cimorene, and Kazul are all quite active — Mendanbar to a unhealthy degree for a while (and Kazul as well, until Cimorene sets up a system to make it easier on her). Daystar might also count, although he was unaware of any royal heritage at the time.

Talking Animal: They're not uncommon. In particular there are witch's cats (who can only be heard by their witch, meaning the reader is only privy to their conversations in Calling), Killer the rabbit (also in Calling) and Suz the lizard (in Talking). A few minor examples also exist, like the squirrel who directs Mendanbar to Morwen in Searching or the frog who sends Cimorene to the dragons in Dealing. It's actually subverted in Searching by the lion who guards the Pool of Gold, since Mendanbar has to first work a spell to make the lion intelligible to him.

Fantastic Fruits and Vegetables
 Enchanted Forest Chronicles / int_22ed5d74
comment
Fantastic Fruits and Vegetables: Book 3 (Calling On Dragons) has the travelers stop near a farm (run by a man named MacDonald), who's currently only growing fruits and vegetables of this type — or in some cases, normal-looking ones that replicate the effects of plants from classic fairy tale settings. These include peas that are hard as a rock to scatter on the floor and expose visiting princesses disguised as men (or to stick under their mattress to expose the ones disguised as peasants, as in the story of The Princess and the Pea), straw designed to be spun into gold, four kinds of grain that come from the same plant so it's harvested premixed (for people who want to test someone by making them sort out the different kinds), beans that jump or grow giant stalks, apples in several varieties of poisoned or gold, extra large pumpkins for turning into coaches, and walnuts with almost anything inside.

Curse Escape Clause
 Enchanted Forest Chronicles / int_275773bd
comment
Curse Escape Clause: The usual cure for being turned to stone is to be kissed, or via water from the Living Spring. Prince Riddle's transformation into a cat is more specific: it can only be reversed if he's kissed by a princess who's drunk water from a unicorn's pool. The queen who enchanted him did it specifically so he'd be forced to marry her extremely unpleasant daughter, who already met the requirement and could have broken the spell... had he not escaped and, eventually, found another princess who wound up becoming able to break the curse.

It's What I Do: Specifically, "what he does" is research magic, trying to find the underlying ur-spell in any given magical rite, as well as experimental magic. His house has two stairwells, one of which only goes up and the other only down, apparently for no other reason than he was experimenting and those were the nearest handy sets of stairs.

Scullery Maid
 Enchanted Forest Chronicles / int_2aa36f9b
comment
Scullery Maid: There's a Running Gag in "Utensile Strength" about Cimorene taking measures to ensure that the palace only hires kitchen maids who can actually do the work, and not disguised princesses on the make. Due to not having time to interview all the new staff being hired to help during the tourney to find the rightful wielder of the Frying Pan of Doom, one slips past, though she's actually a capable worker. In "The Princess, the Cat, and the Unicorn", the titular princess actually arranges with her stepmother to go away and work as a maid for another queen (a friend of her stepmother's) because they're both tired of her father's advisors always pestering her to act the way they think she should, but the cat, who knows her intended employer is an extremely unpleasant person, ends up causing her to wind up in the Enchanted Forest instead.

Awesome, but Impractical: The Sword of the Enchanted Forest: powerful magical weapon, chooser of the heir to the kingdom... also good for plumbing. On the other hand, the sword leaks magical energy if you try to take it out of the Forest, and every magic user except its wielder can tell. Keeping it in a scabbard helps, but any time it's unsheathed or used, it's like sending out a homing signal for any magic-users.

Position of Literal Power
 Enchanted Forest Chronicles / int_2c9ab6bb
comment
Position of Literal Power: It's explained in Talking to Dragons that prospective heirs to the throne of the Enchanted Forest have to go out into the forest and do the right things at the right time until the air, earth and water of the Forest, and the fire of the sword of the Kings of the Enchanted Forest, all acknowledge the person as the rightful heir. As a result, they also inherit a link to the magical forces that sustain the realm, which is more than enough power to be a match for any individual spellcaster (though they still run into trouble with groups if they aren't carrying the sword in question).

Cool, but Inefficient: Literal with most wizards. They tend to be a theatrical lot and their spells create lightshows and loud sounds, all of which are a result of the excess magic that's not being used in the actual spell. The more skilled and dangerous wizards can control their magic to such a degree that only the desired effect of the spell occurs.

Succession Crisis
 Enchanted Forest Chronicles / int_2d768e2d
comment
Succession Crisis: The villains try to create one in at least two kingdoms. The Mountains of Morning are ruled by the King of the Dragons, but rather than their naming a chosen successor, all dragons of age gather at the Ford of Whispering Snakes and take a special test, to move Colin's Stone from the Ford to the Vanishing Mountain. The stone itself selects the King, giving off a faint vibration that gets stronger and stronger until the dragon either is forced to drop the Stone, be shaken to pieces, or not feel it at all; the one who doesn't feel it and thus makes the entire trip without dropping the Stone is the one who's named King. The wizards later kill the sitting King and use magic to manipulate the Stone so their chosen candidate will be able to carry it; he drops it as soon as the spell is broken, and the rightful King is able to take the throne. The King of the Enchanted Forest is chosen by the family sword, which is linked directly to the Forest's magic; only blood members can use it, and only then if the air, earth and water of the Enchanted Forest, and the fire of the Sword itself, acknowledge them (Mendanbar notes at one point that the sword doesn't always choose the sitting King's oldest son, and considers himself lucky to have followed his father onto the throne) and thus let them directly use the Forest's magic. Family members who haven't been acknowledged (such as the King's wife) can hold the sword but not use it; non-family members can't even do that for more than a second or two (as Morwen discovers when she grabs hold of it to save Cimorene and it feels like she's grabbed the hot end of a poker). The wizards later try to seize the power of the sword and Forest, thinking that one of them can become King if the existing line of Kings is ended. They fail because they didn't realize Mendanbar had a son, who stops them and frees Mendanbar from his prison.

Gender Bender: A throwaway line early in Dealing indicates that dragons are born sexless and choose a gender when they become adults. Yet when a female dragon becomes ruler, they are crowned King regardless of gender, though many readers (and even Cimorene for a brief instance) expected this trope. It turns out that "King of the Dragons" is just a job title that is gender-neutral, and that no one has been Queen of the Dragons for years because it's boring. Though, the last holder of that title was in fact male.

Daystar and Shiara meet a young knight who only survives his first encounter with a dragon because it's a young one who doesn't actually want to fight him either. He seems to mostly do things because his girlfriend, a princess who's the Distaff Counterpart of this trope, tells him to, including running off into the woods.

Cursed with Awesome: The stone prince finds that being made of stone comes in quite useful when a dragon tries to chomp on you. The unpleasant Woraug ends up chipping a tooth, and the prince complains that he's also been chipped.

Shipper on Deck: Cimorene. She made sure the stone prince "rescued" Woraug's princess and she sent her own fiancé after a more suitable match for him. Later she mentions that she dealt with most of the princes trying to rescue her after the first book's events by sending them to rescue other princesses (who actually wanted to be rescued), and that she made sure to pair up the nicest knights with the nicest princesses. She describes Shiara matter-of-factly as "the next Queen of the Enchanted Forest" at a point where neither Shiara or Daystar has consciously thought about their relationship that far ahead. Also it's never revealed just how much of a hand she had in the series Beta Couple hooking up... As seen above in She Is Not My Girlfriend, a lot of people in Searching for Dragons think that Mendanbar and Cimorene look good together.

Rags to Royalty: Cimorene deliberately invokes this when she decides to go work for a dragon. Later, she's a more traditional Snow White-esque example when she goes into hiding. Daystar is a Sleeping Beauty variant: he didn't even know he was a prince until he saved his father.

Be Careful What You Say: To the nth degree within the Enchanted Forest itself.

Fourth-Date Marriage
 Enchanted Forest Chronicles / int_35e077
comment
Fourth-Date Marriage: Since this is based in a fairy tale setting, this is quite common. Cimorene and Mendanbar go from "I can't imagine marrying anybody" to "I'm not sure I trust you" to "Let's get married and live happily ever after" in about a week. Averted for Daystar and Shiara; at the end of a similarly eventful week, they've decided to keep seeing each other, but haven't made any decisions about the long-term course of their relationship. (Also played with: the title of the final chapter promises an engagement and a happy ending, but the engagement turns out to be Morwen and Telemain deciding to take the step from bickering Like an Old Married Couple to actually being married.) Princess Elyssa and Prince Riddle agree to get married after about a day or so of traveling together. And about two minutes after she breaks the spell on him — he'd been turned into a cat previously.

Baby as Payment: In Searching for Dragons, Cimorene and Mendanbar meet a dwarf whose grandfather (implied to be Rumplestiltskin) set up a deal with a princess, asking for her firstborn and part of the gold he had to spin for her in return for his aid, but if she could guess his name, she could keep the baby. Then he let her find out his name, and everyone went home happy. His grandson continues the set-up, making the same deals, but every single girl he runs into is too stupid to find out his name, so he ends up with the baby and the gold. And he's getting really tired of getting more children (he likes them well enough, there's just too many of them).

Blessed with Suck: The fact that Alianora wasn't cursed at her christening, despite the presence of an evil fairy who it is explained had a wonderful time at the christening party and was in too good a mood to bother, seems to have been the origin of so many problems in her life (most of them caused by her Aunt Emintrude, who keeps trying to force Alianora into fitting some sort of fairy tale archetype) that for years her family thought she might have been better off with a curse instead. On the other hand, Alianora has managed to accrue a number of Boring, but Practical blessings such as never having problems with her teeth, not to mention that her unconventionality has made her the only princess besides Cimorene herself who is neither a Brainless Beauty nor an Alpha Bitch.

Mundane Solution
 Enchanted Forest Chronicles / int_3c7022ce

Mundane Solution: Literally. In a case similar to the Wicked Witch of the West, it's discovered that wizards can be temporarily melted by soapy water with lemon juice in it. It turns out, however, that magically-created soapy lemon water works just as well, and by the end of the series the protagonists have what amounts to an instant wizard-melting spell. In the climactic battle in Talking to Dragons, a couple of the wizards are carrying swords in addition to their staffs; one of them attacks the magician Telemain with one, and Telemain couldn't block it because he thought it was a spell and used the wrong defensive enchantment as a result.

Prince Charming Wannabe: Therandil is an odd example. He knows Cimorene doesn't want to marry him, and he doesn't want to marry her either. But they're still supposed to be in an Arranged Marriage, so he continues pursuing her out of a sense of honor and duty even after she runs away from home to be a dragon's captive princess. Cimorene gets rid of him in the end by having him rescue a different dragon's captive princess.

Exploited Immunity
 Enchanted Forest Chronicles / int_490bf391
comment
Exploited Immunity: Witches melt in water, and wizards melt in soapy water (with some lemon juice). At one point Zemenar uses the witch Morwen as a shield, so the stone prince gets both of them with the cleaning solution, correctly deducing that "no one who lives in a house as clean as Morwen's could possibly melt in a bucket of soapsuds". It's debatable whether Morwen would actually melt in water, given that only her cats decline baths in Calling on Dragons (though given that Cats Hate Water, it's to be expected). She does cite "clean living" as the reason she doesn't melt, which may imply that only evil witches have that weakness.

Stop Being Stereotypical: Inverted with Arona Michaelear Grinogion Vamist, who's made it his life's mission to go around to and pester magical beings into being more stereotypical; as Morwen puts it, "As near as I can tell, he's trying to get everyone to wear pointy hats and cackle a lot". He's introduced making trouble for Morwen for having a garden that doesn't look sinister enough, not being an aged crone with a stoop, and having multiple non-black cats (which ticks off the cats who are in the room when he calls). He later insists to the King of Dragon's face that she's supposed to eat a princess, not ally with her. He's survived this kind of idiocy because the wizards found him a useful distraction and put a protection spell on him.

Bad Powers, Bad People
 Enchanted Forest Chronicles / int_542b8e66
comment
Bad Powers, Bad People: Wizards absorb magic from everything around them, unlike witches and magicians who study magic and use magical objects. It seems as if only an unscrupulous person would want to be a wizard in this universe, since the magic absorption process visibly harms sentient creatures and damages the environment. In Talking to Dragons, after the battle, it is mentioned that a few of the wizards surrendered and were willing to cooperate with the allies of the Enchanted Forest. Although, their alternative was being eaten by dragons or they might’ve been disgusted with the actions committed by their own peers and willingly sided against them as it sounds like the plot to kill the King of the Enchanted Forest to steal all the forest’s magic was conceived by and known only to the most senior wizards.

Oh, No... Not Again!: Cimorene says this at the beginning when meeting Mendanbar, mistaking him for another prince that wants to "rescue" her. He quickly explains that he's the king of the Enchanted Forest, wants to meet Kazul for actual diplomatic reasons, and (after vaguely explaining why he wants to see her) adds that Morwen sent him, which is what officially convinces Cimorene that it's all right to let him in. And then he manages to repair her plugged sink.

Shoot the Hostage: Zemenar tries to use Morwen as a Human Shield when Cimorene, Alianora and the Stone Prince arm themselves with buckets of soapy water. He taunts the trio that if they melt him, the witch melts with him. Cimorene and Alianora hesitate, but the Stone Prince calls Zemenar's bluff and douses him anyway; Morwen is no worse for wear, just needing dry clothes. She and the Stone Prince say that her "clean living" negated any tendency to melt.

Florence Nightingale Effect
 Enchanted Forest Chronicles / int_60f992e8
comment
Florence Nightingale Effect: Telemain and Morwen have a Relationship Upgrade after she supervises his recovery from an injury received in the battle against the wizards. It's not clear how much vulnerability and tenderness comes into it; since it's Telemain and Morwen, it mostly involves Morwen bossing Telemain around so he won't throw himself back into his research and forget to take things slowly.

So Last Season
 Enchanted Forest Chronicles / int_6156eafa
comment
So Last Season: During the climax of Searching, Mendanbar uses the Forest's magic to make soapy water (with lemon juice) rain onto and melt several Wizards. At the end of Calling, the group learns he relied entirely on Telemain's "Argelfraster" spell when dealing with another large group, despite it only working on one at a time when the same spell probably could have saved him. The likely reason for that is he was deliberately trying to avoid using the Forest's magic until the sword could be retrieved.

Containment Field
 Enchanted Forest Chronicles / int_62c1b7cd
comment
Containment Field: Introduced (chronologically) in Searching for Dragons, where a vastly enhanced version of a standard reptile restraint spell is used to imprison Kazul. In Calling on Dragons, the wizards then use a similar spell around the Castle of the King of the Enchanted Forest to keep the dragons and their allies from getting in, and then (sometime after the battle is done) the dragons, with Telemain's help, duplicate it and put up their own version to keep the wizards out of the castle. The only way to remove the wizards' version, both times, is with the King's sword.

Rebellious Princess
 Enchanted Forest Chronicles / int_6a1cbf28
comment
Rebellious Princess: Zig-zagged by Princess Cimorene — early in the first book, she intentionally gets herself "kidnapped" by a dragon in order to escape her current life and an Arranged Marriage. Before this she insisted on her teachers teaching her things not normally covered: magic, cooking, politics, fencing, Latin, etc. She also (verbally) fights off many of the princes and knights to come to rescue her herself to prevent them from bringing her home, and changes her official title (among the dragons) to "Chief Cook and Librarian" to help drive them away. Cimorene doesn't rebel just because she'd rather play with swords and hates girly princess stuff as Rebellious Princesses tend to. She just sees nothing useful about learning common princess skills such as dancing and embroidery. She prefers cooking and learning magic. She grits her teeth and learns the princess skills anyway... then runs away to avoid an unwanted marriage. Her training as a princess only comes in handy when dealing with the ranks of the various dragons, and when she wants to pretend to be an "airhead" princess. She ends up becoming queen, and a very happy and efficient one at that.

Only the Chosen May Wield
 Enchanted Forest Chronicles / int_6aada778
comment
Only the Chosen May Wield: While any dragon can carry Colin's Stone, any dragon other than the rightful king who tries to do so will find it a very unpleasant experience due to the vibrations it gives off. The test of kingship is to pick up the stone and fly a certain distance without dropping it. The Sword of the Kings of the Enchanted Forest, and only after the earth, air, and water of the Enchanted Forest and the fire of the sword itself recognize them (which it announces by declaring "All hail the (noun) of the sword!" in a way that only said prospective king can hear it; the nouns are "Bearer", "Wielder", "Holder" and "Waker", respectively). It will allow other members of the King's family to hold it as a courtesy, but reacts negatively to anyone else touching it — even Morwen, who was trying to save Cimorene at the time, feels like she's grabbed hold of a red-hot poker when she touches the hilt (apparently the standard defensive means when it's outside the Forest). Months later, her hand still tingles when she remembers that incident. The Frying Pan of Doom from "Utensile Strength" has a variant on this sort of enchantment — it can only be used by the rightful wielder, but it can be held by anyone else if they're wearing an oven mitt (without one, they get badly burned).

Made of Temptation
 Enchanted Forest Chronicles / int_6bb00aa6
comment
Made of Temptation: There are two dippers next to the Water of Healing. The correct one to use is plain tin. The other is gold and gem-encrusted, and turns you to stone if you pick it up. Every prince who goes on a quest for the Water of Healing is told to use the tin one, but most of them think they know better and turn to stone until one with sense comes along and uses some of the water on them. This happens again and again; even the prince Cimorene gets the story from in Dealing With Dragons, who explicitly knew better, still gave in to the temptation to take the damn golden dipper off its hook to look at it... which is why he's "the stone prince". (To be fair, he admits that he didn't realize that just touching it was enough to activate the magic — he thought you had to actually try to use it before it would enchant you.)

Fisher King: The Enchanted Forest itself apparently has a kind of low-level sentience, which is linked to the status of its king. If he dies, the forest reacts in a dramatic fashion. As Morwen mentions (and her cat Trouble confirms), reflecting on a prior such occasion, "none of us got any sleep for three weeks".

Averted for Daystar and Shiara; at the end of a similarly eventful week, they've decided to keep seeing each other, but haven't made any decisions about the long-term course of their relationship. (Also played with: the title of the final chapter promises an engagement and a happy ending, but the engagement turns out to be Morwen and Telemain deciding to take the step from bickering Like an Old Married Couple to actually being married.)

No Ontological Inertia: In several ways, really. Most importantly, after a magic user's death, their spells will cease to exert any influence (unless they're a very powerful/clever magic user). Justified in Talking to Dragons, where everything just snaps back to normal after Daystar brings down the wizards' shield around the castle and releases Mendanbar — all the magic he released goes back into the Enchanted Forest, which is where most of it was stolen from in the first place.

Pair the Spares: Cimorene deliberately does something like this when she sends Therandil to rescue Keredwel instead of her. It gets Therandil out of her hair, and the two are much better suited for each other, so everyone wins. She continues to do this for the rest of her time as Kazul's princess, sending the knights who tried to rescue her off to rescue other princesses.

Funny Answering Machine: Variant in Calling on Dragons — the gargoyle in Mendanbar's study is put in charge of answering their magic mirror, and tends to be pretty snarky when it does so. Cimorene knows full well how it answers and finds it both funny and useful, since it cuts down on the stupid questions people might ask when they call.

Idiot Ball: The Stone Prince is generally one of the smarter characters in Dealing With Dragons, but he became a walking, talking statue because of this trope, and he's well aware of it — despite knowing that he should use the tin dipper and not the golden one to draw healing water from the magic well, he couldn't resist taking the gold one down from its hook just to look at it for a minute. Cimorene mentally lampshades that he behaved foolishly in that instant, but decides not to say so to his face because she can also tell that he's well aware of how foolish he was at that time. To be fair to the prince, he didn't know that just touching the gold dipper would trigger the enchantment (he thought you had to actually try to use it before the magic kicked in), and then when realized what was happening he saved himself from being completely Taken for Granite with some very quick thinking which Cimorene does acknowledge out loud.

Unequal Rites
 Enchanted Forest Chronicles / int_7e675d95
comment
Unequal Rites: Nobody likes wizards (dragons and other inherently magical beasts are even allergic to them). Wizards don't like fire-witches due to some rather dangerous interactions thanks to the incompatibility of their magics (causes their staffs to explode), and they also do not like the unique magic wielded by the king of the Enchanted Forest. (Mainly because it's so effective at stopping them.) Sorceresses ended up a little too popular for their own good. Magicians are usually seen as confusing. Fire-witches are moody and unpredictable at best, but then you get to the worst of them... Regular witches are careful to keep their scary reputation up (even though most of them seem to be nice enough) so they don't end up like the sorceresses.

Bullying a Dragon: Wizards trying to threaten dragons, as well as dragons' princesses. It gets to the point that they need a traitor, which they get from Woraug. Arona Vamist goes out of his way to make himself hated by a group of notoriously temperamental people that can set things on fire with their minds. This might have been excusable in that he at least protected himself against their retribution by allying himself with wizards, but he continues his boneheaded streak by literally trying to invoke this trope by taking severe exception to the intellectual positions held by Kazul — not just a dragon, but the King of the Dragons! And to make it worse, the argument is over the behavior of dragons, which Kazul is naturally an expert on.

Arranged Marriage: Pops up twice. In Dealing With Dragons, Princess Cimorene's parents try to pawn off their difficult daughter on the braindead Prince Therandil and tell her she has no choice. Cimorene defies the trope by running away and becoming a dragon's princess instead, and later by arranging for Therandil to rescue and marry someone else. In Searching for Dragons, King Mendanbar of the Enchanted Forest finds himself eternally arguing with his steward, who pressures him to get married to ensure an heir. Three guesses who ends up married to whom, and the first two don't count.

Satellite Love Interest
 Enchanted Forest Chronicles / int_835d1cd2
comment
Satellite Love Interest: Prince Therandil for Cimorene. In fact, he only counts as a love interest because her parents thought she needed to be married off to somebody and selected Therandil because his family was the first to make an offer, despite the fact that Cimorene disliked him so much that it took a conscious effort on her part just to be civil to him. When all efforts to convince her parents and her unwanted fiance to break off the marriage didn't work, she ran away and took sanctuary with Kazul, only to find Therandil showing up to 'rescue' her, mainly because he feels culturally obliged to do so despite the fact that she's perfectly happy where she is. She eventually gets rid of him by convincing him to rescue and marry a different princess being held by another dragon. He sees nothing wrong with this, and becomes interested in this new princess after learning only four things about her: first name, name of her kingdom, hair color, and a description of her crown. He succeeds in rescuing her and presumably lives happily ever after with her, as he never appears again.

What Happened to the Mouse?: Minor example in Searching. The princess Mendanbar meets in the woods, who is the first to inform him that there's a giant patch of the forest that's been reduced to ashes, is never mentioned again. Mendanbar never even tells anyone else that a completely unprepared young woman is wandering around the woods, let alone send someone to find her and make her go home; given the setting, she could have met any number of unpleasant fates. Of course, given that the forest is semi-sentient, it's also equally plausible that it sent her off without undue harm — ultimately, we don't know.

Princess Annalisa from "Utensile Strength" also has one who, after Rothbern usurps power in her kingdom, helps her escape to the Enchanted Forest so she can hide as a scullery maid; Cimorene remarks that she's probably a traditionalist and didn't think about doing something actually helpful, like aiding Annalisa regain her kingdom.

 Enchanted Forest Chronicles / int_8bfe8aea
comment
Creepy Cave: Downplayed in Dealing with Dragons. Cimorene is gainfully employed by Kazul, and she does her best to make her employer's cave homey, but she still finds it rather gloomy at times. Later in the book, she has to traverse a large connected system of magical caves with their own peculiar rules and dangers. The journey is portrayed as harrowing, but not terrifying. In the scariest chapter of Talking to Dragons, the main characters travel through the Caves of Chance, a large network of caves with peculiar properties. They are pursued throughout by a creepy, sapient, jelly-like lifeform called a "quozzel," which at one point causes a cave-in trying to kill them all.

Twisted Ankle: Invoked by Cimorene during the period when princes keep trying to rescue her; she gains a period of respite by pretending to Therandil that she's sprained her ankle and is thus unable to negotiate the path down from the mountain until it heals. (The path is sufficiently narrow and treacherous that the traditional remedy of carrying her to safety is out of the question.)

Moral Guardians: Arona Michaelear Grinogian Vamist acts as one in Calling on Dragons, for some unfathomable reason. He basically spends his days calling up magical beings whom he believes aren't "traditional" and trying to convince them to rearrange their lives to suit his tastes. In The Princess, the Cat, and the Unicorn, the King of Oslett has advisors who do much the same: they try to convince his daughters that they're supposed to hate one another, and their stepmother that she's supposed to be unpleasant toward her stepdaughters. None of the royal family cares for their behavior; in fact, when Princess Elyssa leaves to seek her fortune, her father tells her that he hoped "she would give the councillors one in the eye". They're still acting this way after her return with Prince Riddle, and it's noted that while everyone else lived happily ever, they were the exceptions because they never gave up trying (and failing) to make the family act as the advisors thought they should.

Solitary Sorceress: At least one in every book. Of the regular characters, Morwen and Telemain handily qualify, especially in Talking to Dragons. There's also Brandel, the reluctantly helpful fire-witch in Calling, who inherited the tower from his sister who in turn got it from her sorceress mentor, and the evil fire-witch in Talking who lives in an invisible, randomly-teleporting castle and attacks passersby to turn them to stone and add to her collection. Witches in general try to pretend that they are this, because they're afraid that if people are no longer afraid of them, they'll be endlessly bothered for magic cures for everything.

Stay in the Kitchen
 Enchanted Forest Chronicles / int_9cbf01d6
comment
Stay in the Kitchen: Princesses are expected to act in "proper" ways, which generally mean being ditzy and useless and waiting for a prince to save them from something and marry them. Cimorene is considered "difficult" by everyone in the castle she grew up in because her practical mind led to her wanting to do things that actually served a purpose and let her take care of herself. Searching for Dragons has Cimorene think this is happening early on. Having just met Mendanbar, she tells him she thinks Kazul is trapped in the Enchanted Forest, so she's going to go search for her. Mendanbar tells her she shouldn't do that, to which Cimorene angrily asks him if it's because he thinks it's improper behavior for a princess. She's momentarily stunned speechless when he explains himself — he doesn't want her going because he's king of the forest and thus knows that it's an incredibly dangerous place, full of dangerous stuff she's probably never seen before, and that as the close friend and assistant of the already-disappeared king of dragons, her getting lost or killed or enchanted would likely spark massive political problems between the dragons and the citizens of the forest, which is the very thing they're trying to avoid. Cimorene, after recovering from being startled, admits that her knee-jerk reaction was because she's used to this trope, so it never occurred to her that he might have a real reason for her not to go. (She still does, but accepts Mendanbar's offer to come along and help her out.)

Wanted a Gender-Conforming Child: In book 1 (Dealing With Dragons), Cimorene mentions that her parents are worried about her because she isn't princess-y enough, is too tall, and tried to learn swordfighting among other things. She runs away to volunteer as a dragon princess which apparently alleviates their worries, as being a Dragon’s Princess not only is perfectly acceptable but easily resolves the issue of finding their youngest daughter a proper suitor who wouldn’t be put off by her un-princess like behavior.

Princess Annalisa's Uncle Rothbern tries to kidnap her in the middle of a tournament in "Utensile Strength", in the Enchanted Forest right in front of both a literal army of armed men and the King of the Enchanted Forest himself! Mendanbar nullifies his magic and asks him what the hell he's doing, and the competitors honorably prepare to defend her because they are armed to the tooth and pumped for a fight. It's more or less a Suicide Mission. Fortunately or unfortunately, Annalisa manages to use the Frying Pan of Doom to turn her Evil Uncle into a poached egg, stopping any fight before it can begin.

Chekhov's Skill: Cimorene tires of the traditional princess training regime, so forces various members of her parents' staff to teach her more masculine skills, like swordfighting and politics. All of these skills become useful at various points in her career. Interestingly, though, Cimorene finds herself mentally apologizing to her protocol teacher early in Dealing; it had been one of her most hated classes, but learning about the importance of seating arrangements proves useful when she's serving dessert for a dinner party of dragons.

In Searching for Dragons, a princess in the Enchanted Forest tries to move Mendanbar with her story of how her Wicked Stepmother banished her there. Mendanbar is not sympathetic, as he instantly suspects that the princess and the stepmother talked the entire thing over as a way for the princess to get a good marriage. His son Daystar is more susceptible when a princess tells him a similar story in Talking to Dragons; that time it turns out to be a plot to get Daystar's sword.

Loophole Abuse: a downplayed version. The stone prince quickly sticking his arm in the healing spring after touching the golden ladle as he knew that the water would turn all the other enchanted princes back to normal when someone successfully completed the quest so he thought it would prevent the enchantment on the golden ladle from taking effect. Apparently whoever enchanted the golden ladle hadn’t expected anyone to do that and thus only his physical appearance was changed in that he was made of stone but still able to think and move about. Even Cimorene acknowledges his quick and sound course of action of utilizing the spring as being “smart�.

Too Dumb to Live: Killer, who keeps eating things that transform him in some way. Antorell could also count, given that by Talking, his attempts for revenge against Cimorene pretty much have consisted of him dramatically bursting into her house and screaming about how he'll get her, only for her to promptly melt him. Arona Vamist could also count, seeing as he makes it his business to endlessly pester witches (both fire and regular) and dragons about the "proper" way they should behave. Granted he had the power of an entire group of wizards protecting him from the fire witches, but there's really no excuse for him to argue with Kazul over whether or not dragons eat princesses, especially since he had just lost said wizarding protection. Princess Annalisa's Uncle Rothbern tries to kidnap her in the middle of a tournament in "Utensile Strength", in the Enchanted Forest right in front of both a literal army of armed men and the King of the Enchanted Forest himself! Mendanbar nullifies his magic and asks him what the hell he's doing, and the competitors honorably prepare to defend her because they are armed to the tooth and pumped for a fight.

Sealed Room in the Middle of Nowhere: The final chapters of Talking To Dragons reveal that King Mendanbar, whom no one has seen since the battle at the end of the third book and who Daystar ultimately rescues, has been stuck in the castle for 17-odd years inside a magical room of Zemenar's creation. He didn't need to eat but was most certainly conscious of time passing.

Forced Transformation
 Enchanted Forest Chronicles / int_b97a2fa7
comment
Forced Transformation: Quite a few. Dealing with Dragons mentions that such magic would've been taught to Cimorene, were she better at magic, as it's more advanced than the Invisibility spell that is the best she can cast. Woraug's own biology/inherent magic does this to him. As Kazul explains it, "when a dragon stops behaving like a dragon", as Waurog had, they automatically turn into a toad instead. During the wedding preparations at the end of Searching For Dragons, Mendanbar and Telemain go over Fire-Flower Meadow to make sure all the fire-flowers are gone and to deal with any lingering enchantments. They find and disenchant two princesses who've been turned into pinks (a species of flower), a frog prince and a hedgehog who'd once been someone's groom, and then invite all of them to the wedding once they're cured. In Calling on Dragons, Killer is accidentally hit with multiple ones that stack. They're eventually transferred to Arona Michaelear Grinogion Vamist. The Frying Pan of Doom has this effect when the rightful owner wields it and strikes a person, in this case a princess whose uncle tries to kidnap her in full view of a dozen knights and kings. Its target gets turned into an enormous poached egg, which has the benefit of making everyone nearby lose their appetite.

 Enchanted Forest Chronicles / int_b97c1d0b
comment
Standard Hero Reward: Half a kingdom and the princess's hand in marriage is said to be the standard reward for rescuing a princess who has been captured by a dragon. When Cimorene learns that her parents have offered it on her behalf, she notes that half the kingdom is not only a considerably larger dowry than she might otherwise have been offered with, as the youngest of seven sisters, it's larger than all her elder sisters' dowries put together. And Morwen states Linderwall itself is rather large in comparison to other kingdoms.

Aerith and Bob: Most characters have names like Cimorene and Mendanbar and Kazul and so on. However there are some ordinary-named characters like Jack, Herman, and Rachel. The "normal"-sounding names are all given to characters spoofing familiar fairy-tale characters: Jack for Jack and the Beanstalk (where a married pair of giants have been repeatedly robbed by human men uniformly named Jack), Herman for Rumplestiltskin (who didn't want to keep people's children and changed his name so that it would be easier to remember or guess), and Rachel for Rapunzel (who let down her chair to people who somehow got the words mangled up).

Cool Gate: Morwen has a magic door that's linked to multiple extra rooms, including a library, study, magic workshop, storage area, and several bedrooms, and notes that there's space for at least three or four more rooms before she'd have to add a second door. Mendanbar has a similar, but less effective, door in one of his castle attics that takes the person all the way back to the ground floor. Unfortunately, it's one-way, so whoever uses it still has to climb seventeen flights of stairs to get to the attic in the first place.

Cool and Unusual Punishment: Near the end of Searching, Cimorene and Mendanbar suggest to Prince Rupert that being an Evil Uncle would actually mean more if he made his nephew do something that said nephew didn't like, with the boy being Too Kinky to Torture. They then recommend sending the nephew to boarding school, where he'll get an education to become a proper prince. Near the end Calling, as punishment for his crimes against the Enchanted Forest, Arona Vamist is made to take on all Killer's transformations, returning Killer to normal and turning Arona into a six-foot — sorry, seven-foot, eleven-inch (counting the ears) — floating blue donkey with wings... and with a bald patch, reflecting his human form being bald.

Real Women Don't Wear Dresses
 Enchanted Forest Chronicles / int_c099ca1a
comment
Real Women Don't Wear Dresses: In-universe, the princesses who aren't like Cimorene (meaning most) are often seen as stupid and useless for embracing their Princess Classic/Damsel in Distress heritage and being happy with being rescued and married. Cimorene herself, however, admits they are silly but can't really help it, considering that's just how they were brought up. The trope is played with in that while Cimorene goes on adventures and uses a sword, she also is fine with doing traditionally feminine things like cooking, cleaning and dressing up (see: her absolute pleasure at discovering her wardrobe at Kazul's is magical and can provide practical work dresses and luxurious gowns as needed). The first book also subverts this with Alianora, who tries to be a proper princess but fails miserably in various ways (and it's mostly not her fault — aside from the spinning straw into linen thread thing). She still is Cimorene's best friend. Also, see Morwen, who wears robes (close enough to dresses), makes cider, bakes gingerbread and gardens deadly nightshade, apples and lilies. She's also a very powerful practical witch and magic user.

My Hair Came Out Green: Unusual variant in Killer's case — he dyes his fur white, and while the dye job works just fine, exposure to magic causes it to wear off and make him blotchy. According to Morwen, spells are hard on cosmetic changes (which is why witches never color their hair) and he won't be able to re-dye it until the spell residue wears off, which will take about six weeks.

No Name Given: A number of characters. More than a few of the adult dragons don't have their names mentioned, instead being described by the colors of their scales or other traits (such as "the thin dragon" or "the dragon at the far end [of the table]"). The stone prince presumably has one, but it's never mentioned what it is. Cimorene's parents and sisters are never named. The princess that Mendanbar meets early in Searching For Dragons never gets the chance to give him her name. The evil fire-witch in Talking to Dragons never gives her name before Daystar kills her. The knight whom Daystar and Shiara meet in Talking to Dragons. Averted with the princess he's in love with, whom he refers to as Isabelle. Very few of the wizards besides Zemenar and Antorell have their names given. The young dragon in Talking to Dragons. Justified in its case, since dragons don't have names until they have a gender to go with it.

She Is the King: In Dealing, Cimorene assumes that if Kazul wins the competition for King of the Dragons, she will be crowned Queen; but Kazul explains that no, King of the Dragons is a gender-neutral title, and Queen of the Dragons is a separate (also gender-neutral) job, with very little power, that nobody much wants. Also an inversion, since at the start of the story, the most recent Queen was a male dragon.

The Chains of Commanding: Mendanbar to a degree, although his inner monologue presents him as more sarcastic than angsty. He doesn't have any use for conventional formality, but he's very serious about his real responsibilities, almost to a fault when he tries to personally resolve all of the kingdom's problems. Both Morwen and Cimorene observe that he's visibly worn out from trying to do everything by himself.

comment
Orwellian Retcon: The re-release of Talking to Dragons had some edits to bring it into line with things that had changed during the writing of the prequels. These included: In the original version of Talking to Dragons, Telemain was reasonably comprehensible, but the prequel novels gave him his habit of constantly speaking in Magi Babble. When Talking to Dragons was reissued, his dialogue was edited accordingly. The circumstances under which Cimorene and Mendanbar knew each other — the original version of Talking asserted that the Enchanted Forest and the Mountains of Morning had been closely allied, bringing them into each other's immediate orbit, but in Searching the relationship between the two kingdoms is shown to be neutral at best, and in fact the two meet while trying to prevent an outbreak of full-scale war. There was further mention of Antorell having actually courted Cimorene, and that they were married only after the sword was stolen. These were also rectified in the re-release.

Lord Error-Prone: Therandil keeps trying to rescue Cimorene and screwing it up (quite apart from her not wanting to be "rescued" at all), and then accidentally looses a genie who wants to kill them both. Daystar and Shiara meet a young knight who only survives his first encounter with a dragon because it's a young one who doesn't actually want to fight him either. He seems to mostly do things because his girlfriend, a princess who's the Distaff Counterpart of this trope, tells him to, including running off into the woods.

Shiara, plus a bunch of other people who happened by the evil Fire-witch's castle (possible Shout-Out to The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe), gets turned to stone in Talking to Dragons.

Modest Royalty: Cimorene, especially when she was Kazul's princess, you are more apt to see her in sensible clothing with an apron. Even after marrying Mendanbar, she sticks to it. Mendanbar himself dresses very casually and hates formal occasions (which he calls stuffy and boring), canceling as many as he can get away with, much to his steward's dismay. At one point, another character chides him for it, saying he should at least wear the crown or else no one would know who he was. Their son Daystar sticks to the trend, though in the beginning it's because he didn't know he was a prince.

comment
Princess Classic: The majority of the princesses, Cimorene excluded, are this — innocent, demure, and overly feminine. However, with a few exceptions (such as Princess Annalisa in "Utensile Strength"), it's treated as a negative: most princesses are shown to be stupid, spineless and generally useless. In all fairness, they're raised to be that way, but most of the protagonists find them annoying. It's the first clue to Mendanbar that something is wrong with the forest: apparently, the forest doesn't like them either and will shift itself around so they don't enter, but the fact that one got in is a sign that there's a problem.

Off to Boarding School
 Enchanted Forest Chronicles / int_dbe04eb5
comment
Off to Boarding School: Mendanbar's suggestion of what the aforementioned Evil Uncle should do. Prince Rupert has been ordered by the Wicked Stepmothers' Society to do something evil or lose his membership, but he genuinely likes his nephew, and in addition, can't get his nephew to think getting lost in the forest is actually a bad thing, because the nephew is a wannabe adventurer. So Mendanbar tells the uncle that boarding school is the perfect solution, because it's a thing that's conventionally done by nasty people, that the nephew will hate, but won't actually do much harm.

Orgy of Evidence: King Mendanbar finds a section of the Enchanted Forest burned down with a bunch of dragon scales scattered around. The witch he goes to for advice notes that there are way too many scales present to have been shed in the course of a single rampage, and also that they had been magically modified to look like they came from different dragons, when a dragon genuinely interested in hiding evidence of itself would have just picked them up.

Reasonable Authority Figure: Cimorene in "Utensile Strength" when she finds out one of the new maids is a runaway princess named Annalisa, who was hiding from her Evil Uncle. She defends the girl when Rothbern tries to kidnap her, thinks that Annalisa's fairy godmother ought to have helped her regain the kingdom, and applauds her for being proactive about the situation. In fact, Cimorene's only rebuke is to the hiring manager, whom she informs that she'll be sitting in on job interviews because finding good help is hard when each one is secretly royalty in disguise.

Immune to Fire
 Enchanted Forest Chronicles / int_debf5019
comment
Immune to Fire: In book 1 (Dealing With Dragons), Princesses Cimorene and Alianora cast a spell to make themselves immune to fire, so as to keep from being accidentally burned by a dragon if they suddenly lose their temper. The initial casting requires a ritual, but renewing it when it wears off takes only a simple rhyme and a pinch of feverfew. This gets a callback in Calling on Dragons when Cimorene is able to use it without the feverfew; the book also introduces fire witches, who are naturally immune to fire.

Ineffectual Sympathetic Villain: Pretty much nothing ever seems to go right for Antorell. He's not clever, not all that good a wizard, both his enemies and his own allies (including his father) largely hold him in contempt, and he's melted in every single book at least once. He doggedly continues to try and pit himself against Cimorene despite the fact that the result is the same every single time. If he weren't a villain (and didn't transform into a Smug Snake every time he thought he held the upper hand), you might be inclined to feel pity for him.

Deathbringer the Adorable: Killer the rabbit. On meeting him Morwen thinks to herself that rabbits have very odd ideas about names, probably because they have to come up with so many of them. He is hit with a variety of transformational spells, but they don't do much to make him more fearsome, just ridiculous, and he's about as brave as you would probably expect an ordinary rabbit to be.

The Ditz
 Enchanted Forest Chronicles / int_e2d457
comment
The Ditz: It becomes clear rather quickly that Antorell isn't very bright. In Dealing With Dragons, he accidentally lets it slip that a security spell his father proposed for Kazul's lair was very easy to do (judging by Zemenar's reaction, Cimorene guessed that he was planning to pretend it was difficult, as an excuse to snoop around). In Searching For Dragons, he comes to visit Cimorene in, what she points out, is a very suspicious manner (he comes blundering in the back way without announcing himself or bringing a candle). In Calling On Dragons, he is captured by one of Morwen's cats (he was shrunk at the time granted, but still), and is referred to by Telemain as "the wizard Cimorene keeps melting". The epilogue has Cimorene tell how he was so determined to get revenge on her that when he found her hiding place, he walked right past Mendanbar's magic sword and Cimorene's child and tripped over Kazul's tail before he was melted. In Talking To Dragons, he completely loses any intelligence he has, being melted by Cimorene in the first chapter just after boasting that he will kill her and take the sword and Daystar. From there, he continues to ineffectually stalk Daystar until he is finally gotten rid of when he decides to sic a monster on Cimorene...right after her son just learned how to effectively wield the sword that channeled all magic in the forest. Arona Vamist from Calling on Dragons counts in a big way. He basically decides for no reason to act as a weird variation of a Moral Guardian, trying to force people to conform to the "traditional" ways for things — forcing witches to have one black cat, driving an angry group of Fire Witches out of town, etc. It's later revealed that he did have some protection from the wizards, but that doesn't explain why, when he lost said protection, he thought it was a good idea to contradict Kazul of all people on the behavior of dragons. He also tried to take the moral high ground against the protagonists "kidnapping" him, even though he was an accomplice to the wizards stealing Mendanbar's sword, which also meant he was an accomplice to their plan of invading the Enchanted Forest.

comment
Crystal Ball: The King's Crystal can scry as well as foretell the future, but it's actually a flat plate instead of a sphere. Morwen has a more conventional ball. The dwarf Herman has a window in his house that can show distant things, which is used by Cimorene for discovering what became of Kazul during Searching for Dragons. It breaks however when she tries to find Kazul's location with its magic. Later on, in Calling on Dragons, Brandel has a magic mirror that can serve the same purpose of scrying, though it's cranky and won't cooperate unless they specify what they're looking for in rhyme.

The Load: Killer. A rabbit turned into a floating blue donkey, Killer spends the whole story whining about not getting enough to eat, eating things that are obviously magical and dangerous despite being warned numerous times and despite having suffered bad consequences already from it, whining about being in danger that his own actions have put him into and thus requiring rescue, whining about having to carry an incapacitated Telemain, and in general being an all-around useless pain to the heroes. The heroes only take him along because Telemain thinks he can use what's left of the wizards' size-changing spell on him to locate their headquarters once they get close enough... which turns out to be completely unnecessary, though he does come in useful a few times.

Bewitched Amphibians: Subverted with the talking frog that Cimorene meets in Dealing With Dragons, though he's met a few who played it straight. Later in Dealing With Dragons, Alianora tells Cimorene that she was afraid Antorell would work this on them if they annoyed him too much. Cimorene replies that she doesn't think he's a very good wizard, and that he probably couldn't manage anything worse than a squirrel. A frog prince is among the lingering enchantments found in Fire-Flower Meadow near the end of Searching For Dragons. Morwen is offended at the suggestion of turning someone into a toad, although she considers doing it to Arona Vamist because he irritates her so much. Her cats encourage it as they want something to play with. In "Utensile Strength", Mendanbar foils an evil sorcerer's attempt to turn a knight into a pollywog.

Mobile Maze: The forest constantly shifts itself about.

The Caves of Chance have similar properties, as does one section of the Caves of Fire and Night, according to Kazul when she's explaining them in Dealing With Dragons.

Child Marriage Veto: Cimorene goes to live with the dragons as her way of vetoing her parents' attempt to marry her off to the son of a neighboring king, since she can't stand Therandil. She vetoes further proposals by sending away all the knights and princes who try to come and rescue her, sending most of them off to rescue other princesses instead. In the second book, she finally marries King Mendanbar after legitimately falling for him. In "Utensile Strength", Princess Annalisa refuses to marry her Evil Uncle Rothbern the Great, who'd usurped her kingdom and wanted to marry her to cement his rule.

Mundane Utility: This is more or less how Mendanbar, King of the Enchanted Forest, and Cimorene become acquainted with each other — he introduces himself by using the ancestral weapon linked to the realm of pure enchantment to unclog the drain. She has to forestall him from doing the dishes (saying that "A magic sword that does dishes is just plain silly"). Then, late in Talking to Dragons, he uses his magic to get rid of all the dust in his castle.

Locked Out of the Loop: For most of Talking to Dragons, Daystar has no clear idea what's going on, and the various people who do know refuse to enlighten him. There is a good reason for this, however: if he was informed of what the sword he was carrying was and what his possessing it meant (that he was prince of the Enchanted Forest), the wizards could use magic to find him.

Youngest Child Wins: Discussed. The stone prince was turned to stone while attempting a quest to obtain the magical cure for a king's illness; he tells Cimorene that in retrospect he ought to have realised that as two of the king's three sons had already attempted the quest and failed, nobody was going to succeed except the third son. Cimorene becomes Queen of the Enchanted Forest and as a close friend of the King of Dragons herself Cimorene is the luckiest out of all her sisters.

Magic Cauldron
 Enchanted Forest Chronicles / int_f74022ea
comment
Magic Cauldron: The giantess Ballimore's Cauldron of Plenty, mentioned a few times across the series. It can produce almost any food on demand, and she has no issue lending it out to her neighbors when they're planning a banquet. The only catch is that it can't do desserts, except for burnt mint custard and sour-cream-and-onion ice cream.

Running Gag
 Enchanted Forest Chronicles / int_f9f2c33
comment
There's a Running Gag in "Utensile Strength" about Cimorene taking measures to ensure that the palace only hires kitchen maids who can actually do the work, and not disguised princesses on the make. Due to not having time to interview all the new staff being hired to help during the tourney to find the rightful wielder of the Frying Pan of Doom, one slips past, though she's actually a capable worker.

comment
Eyelash Fluttering: In Dealing with Dragons it's mentioned that this is a technique taught to princesses and other women whose role in a traditional fantasy world is to be Distressed Damsels; moreover, that it's most effective when the male target is One Head Taller than the female, so that she can look up at him through her eyelashes. This is a problem for Cimorene, who is the same height as most men and thus couldn't pull off the trope effectively even if she wanted to.

Doomy Dooms of Doom: The Frying Pan of Doom. (The enchanter intended to create "The Sword of Doom", but he tripped over his pet pig and enchanted his wife's best frying pan instead.)

comment
Disposable Fiancé: Therandil is a case of Bland Perfection. Cimorene starts trying to dispose of him the moment she learns that he is her fiancé, and eventually sets things up for him to marry another princess.

Bigger on the Inside: Morwen's house, which appears to consist of one room, but has a back door enchanted to lead to any of about a dozen different rooms.

Our Gargoyles Rock
 Enchanted Forest Chronicles / int_fe5ed7bf
comment
Our Gargoyles Rock: There's a wooden one in Mendanbar's study, who was apparently put there to keep an eye on the castle so if the wood starts to rot or structural problems develop, it can alert someone. It spends more of its time insulting Mendanbar though, and according to Mendanbar, it did the same thing with his own father.

comment
Literal Genie: This may have happened with the genie encountered by Cimorene and her unwanted fiancé Therandil. Therandil wishes to defeat a dragon in battle and rescue "his" captive princess. Cimorene then points out that Kazul, her dragon, is female, and thus the wish doesn't apply to her. Since both of them were actually happier with the idea of Therandil defeating a male dragon and rescuing a more "traditional" princess, they never actually try to find out if the wish was indeed literal.
