Masafumi Fuse masafumi — As a child, I fondly remember reading many Chrestomanci books and after recently enjoying Howl's Moving Castle and it sequels, I decided to pick up a few more of Jones' books. Maybe it's just because I'm no longer a kid but this didn't do it for me. Jones' characters are, as always, very colorful and I loved the developing relationship between Mr. Lynn and Polly. I also loved the numerous references to many classics and the story-telling both characters did. However, I disliked how Jones enshrouds her fantasy worlds in mystery: she only gives you the vaguest picture, forcing the reader to come up with their own ideas about this world when she goes into such detail about each character and their relationships. Needless to say, this imbalance left me frustrated. Not knowing more about the world she created kept the reader (me) at a distance from it as a stranger, rather than allowing the reader to dive into the fantasy with the characters. I was also annoyed with how Polly seemed to just know things. I'm doubtful this lack of detail was due to laziness. I've read somewhere that Jones does this on purpose in her children's books because children don't need an explanation since they have not developed a concrete picture of the world with rigid logic that adults seem to have. Magic, can, just happen randomly and children don't need to know to how. So perhaps my mind lacks the imagination to "make the magic happen." Of course, I disagree. Children and adults alike don't need a lot of detail for their imaginations to take off, but they need more than what this book offers. I think this is one of the reasons Harry Potter and Tolkien did so well -- the world was written in enough detail and familiarity for the reader to happily dive into. Funnily enough, I can't remember whether or not this was done in Howl's Moving Castle but I don't remember being frustrated by it.

Linda Henriksen lhenriksen — Love the way the book jumps from scene to scene. It's like reading a movie. Very good!

Richard Wehler richardwehcb2f — I loved this series! Fantasy is my son's favorite genre, and reading what he reads is good for both of us. Brandon Mull is more than just entertaining, he's teaching young people great lessons in subtle ways. I highly recommend this book to any age or gender!

Min Dong donmin — Life changing iconic book on Reformed Theology.

Mayur Roman mayurromana00a — An easy-to-read version for kids. I still prefer Howard Pyle's version, though. There seemed to be more drama in it.
