I'm conflicted. On the one hand, I thought this was a fun and charming read. On the other hand... I feel this series has dragged on WAY too long.
The series began 7 books ago with The Frog Princess, which I loved. Books 1-4 chronicled the adventures of Princess Emma, her Prince Eadric, and other creature she met on the way as they overcome magical problems in the kingdom of Greater Greensward. The author then released what I will refer to as book 5, although chronically it comes before the first...more

Princess Millie and her soon-to-be husband, Audun, are buried up to their necks in wedding day preparations. Trying to make everything perfect for their (hopefully) perfect day. Unfortunately for them, life has a way of interfering. And it seems that their only hope of living happily ever after depends on them.

Perhaps unfortunately for me, I picked up this book without realizing it was book 7 in a series. I may have enjoyed it more if I'd read the first six as intended, but I'll never know that now. A Prince Among Frogs is a fun little story with decent action and an interesting set of characters in situations appropriate for it's audience, but it was still lacking something I couldn't quite put my finger on. Maybe it wasn't tightly written enough, or possibly I was just lacking the background connect...more
Millie and her fiancé, Audun, are on two missions. One: to plan their wedding. Two: to rescue Millie's younger brother. Not necessarily in that order. Felix is now a frog. In a swamp. Where there are hundreds of other frogs. Talk about a specific needle in a haystack of look alike needles. The final book in the Tales of the Frog Princess series. Cute but not my favorite in the series.
This series has been so cute! Although I do think that the series has dragged in a little too much, I like this book as the finale because it follows along the lines of the first books. Princess millies younger brother has been kidnapped and turned into a frog, and Millie, her fiancé audun, and her parents have to go and find him.
This is, I believe, the final tale of the Frog Princess and while I enjoyed them, I'd be glad to see them end. I don't love Millie and Audun as much as I loved Emma and Eadric so the last few books have been only okay for me. That being said, they're quite nice to listen to because they are pleasant and generally cheerful.
When Princess Millie's baby brother is kidnapped just before her wedding, it's up to Millie and her fiance, dragon Audun, to save the day. Adventure, humor, and family conflict tie up the series and bring characters from the previous volumes together. Once again, spunky Millie saves the day.
Maybe I should have spaced these books out a little. I may have enjoyed them more that way because I would not have noticed all of the little inconsistencies. Anyway, glad I read the series, glad I'm finished... at least until the author adds more.
A satisfying ending to a well-done series. Millie is now my daughter's favorite character - and one I don't mind being her role model for a time. :) Haven't we all wanted to be a princess (or prince) who has magic at one time in our lives?
The wrap-up to the Frog Princess series, I read this book many years after I read the others (I read it when it came out) and was too old for it by then. Although I still liked it, I did not experience the same magic I felt when I previously read the others. Perhaps it was because of my age, or this one did not live up to the high par set by the others, but it was still a perfect ending to a wonderful series.
More like 2.5 stars. I still like this series but I'm getting tired of the conflict always being caused by the same bad guys and the writing is getting shallow. It is written for a younger audience so maybe I'm being too harsh.
Cute but certainly not as engaging as the other books in the series. As much as I've enjoyed the characters, I feel the series should come to a permanent close.
this was the best way to end the series. i really loved the book and the rest of the frog princess books. though now im wondering about the children of millie and audun. . .:)
Short compared to the others, in which things get resolved pretty quickly, leaving you wondering what's left. And then there's more. Nicely resolved.
A good ending to a fun series. Perhaps the series was a little too long as the last two books were not among my favorites in the series. Still this was a good book and a fun read!
REALLY GOOD but (theres always a but!) a little too young for me:P i started this series back in the 5th grade (actually the summer before) and fell in love with it! then when i got the Dragon Princess book, i liked it but i enjoyed Emma + Eadric more. This one was great but like i said, too young cuz its likie, a 5th grade book! younger actually i think cuz Emma+Eadric even seemed like a older-type book....ANYWAYS im glad the whole frog thing was incorporated cuz i liked Emma as a frog (and dra...more

A cute end of the Frog Princess series, featuring Emma's daughter Millie and her fiancee, Audun the dragon.
I love this whole series. This is book 7 in the series and the final one. Disney stole the idea and created the Princess and the Frog from this series, but it is nothing like the movie. Just an overall better story. My 9 year old has loved them too.
I really liked this book. I love the series,too.
E.D. Baker is one of my favorite authors

I AM SOOOO EXCITED TO READ THIS!!!!! I HOPE SHE WRITES MORE SEQUELS TO THIS!!!!!!
I love this series! I can't wiait to share them with my daughter! Keep them coming!
Enjoyable, but the series is either losing its charms for me or just not as good as it used to be. *sigh* Such a bummer.
This is the last book in the Frog Princess series and while it was not nearly as good as the first four it was still sweet and fun.
A good ending to a cute series - although by the last few books, I'd say it's definitely directed enough towards girls (princesses, weddings, kissing) that boys would not like it as much as the early entries.
This was a good ending to a wonderful series.I will definitely miss it!!
