The discovery of a patch in the Enchanted Forest laid waste by wizards starts him on a quest that soon leads him to Cimorene. Very much still a callow youth, he imposes his preference for the simple, active life on his new role as king, disappointing his steward, the elf Willin, who has anticipated a resumption of pomp and formality.
In compensation, however, readers are introduced to Mendanbar, King of the Enchanted Forest. The no-nonsense sisterhood of the Princess Cimorene and her unwilling captor, Kazul, was one of the delights of Dealing with Dragons (HBJ, 1990). The bad news? It continues without the fierce benign presence of Kazul, King of the Dragons, for at least 90 percent of the book.
