Although she's an orphan in indentured servitude, 16-year-old Jennifer Strange is pretty good at her job of managing the unpredictable crew at Kazam Mystical Arts Management. She already solved the Dragon Problem, avoided mass destruction by Quarkbeast, and helped save magic in the Ununited Kingdoms. Yet even Jennifer may be defeated when the long-absent Mighty Shandar makes an astonishing appearance and commands her to find the Eye of Zoltar - proclaiming that if she fails, he will eliminate the only two dragons left on earth.

How can a teenage non-magician outdo the greatest sorcerer the world has ever known? But failure is unacceptable, so Jennifer must set off for the mysterious Cadir Idris in the deadly Cambrian Empire - a destination with a fatality index of 50 percent.

With the odds against them, will Jennifer and her traveling companions ever return to the Kingdom of Snodd?

I am utterly entertained and always sad when the book is done. His wit is priceless and he keeps me chuckling as I drive to and from work. I am sure it is concerning to those driving on the roads with me.

Jasper Fforde never disappoints me

I enjoyed this. I am a big "enjoyer" of puns (just so you know, bad puns are how eye-roll...lol).

It was entertaining and I will definitely listen to it again!

I find myself laughing out loud on occasion

Fforde's Kazam Chronicles are magical, exciting and hilarious. Read them all in order if possible. K.C.s out fun the Tuesday Next, Lost in a Good Book. series

Love everything about book and series.

Great!

I started this book fearing the third book in the series may have gone a bit soft (as some of the late Thursday Next books seem stretching). It seemed like some rapidly repeated schtick but that ended up being the reestablishment of the continued story line. The book then quickly shifted to good fresh Fforde story telling. Always inventive and fun with plenty for the mind to chew on. Narration is as good as previous Dragon Slayers. Good use of accents and voices.

Good Fforde

Absolutely loved the story and the narrator! The characters have depth but the story remains light hearted, even in the midst of challenges the characters face. Funny, smart, and constantly poking at the aristocracy.

How does Fforde keep doing it?!?

I hope there are many many many many more to come. I am addicted to the happenings of Jennifer Strange!

Love this series

I always enjoy Jasper Fford's silly stories. My only complaint about this is that the narrator's voice sounded too old for the character she was reading. She would have been better suited for the voice of Tuesday Next.

Another Ffordian Treat

the narrator's female voices could get a little grating
but hey who am I to criticize?
I can't do all those voices myself !
just that I had to go in the other room because the princess and once magnificent boo's high voices were bugging my husband and son.
I was enjoying the story too much to care.

wonderfully made story love the characters

I just finished listening to this for the 2nd time and it was even better than I remembered.
Fforde's brilliant storytelling and humor go perfectly with Jasicki's narrating. I hope there is a new installment soon and with the same narrator.

Brilliant!
