crowyhead's review against another edition
4.0
GoodReads lists Jane Yolen as the author, but actually she just wrote the introduction.
John Ney Rieber takes over the reigns and continues Neil Gaiman's miniseries. Rieber is not Neil Gaiman, but for the most part he doesn't try to be, which is good. The story is fascinating and magical and even a little bit touching, and I very much enjoyed it.

Nowhere near as good as "The Books of Magic" by Neil Gaiman, however this volume was interesting in itself. Dealing a lot with Faerie, and with a guest visit by Death, we see more of the world Tim has inherited as a Magician.
3 stars because it was good, but not great. It's fairly short, so it's an enjoyable enough read for its size.
