great read for a kid, still a great read for an adult.
The story is good, the premise is wonderful, the imagery there.
I loved it when I was a kid, I love it again on a reread now. ( )

For some reason, this novel felt a lot shorter than the other titles in the series, although I'm pretty sure that page-wise it's not any shorter than The Lives of Christopher Chant. Anyway, it's a well-written story in a thoroughly realized magical world, and I enjoyed it hugely. ( )
