I really liked parts of this and was really bored by parts. The action around 40-80% was my favorite - until the plagues, then snooze fest for a little while. But still, overall enjoyable and comical at times. Good for mindless reading, or listening in my case. I'd probably read more and overall, I enjoyed this series.

The series is starting to get a little old, nothing new or fresh.

I dunno, a bit on the boring side. The last part had some annoying parts. Enjoyable but not as much as the first books.

Magic 2.0 books are light and fun (and are intended to be this way) with no super deep consequences for their characters, and this one is no different. Focussing on newer characters gives it a bit of a fresh edge, but the narration style seems to have become plainer (if it's not just my failing memory). Still, the story is engaging enough, and the climactic action scene is still quite entertaining.

Rumbledethumps is a Scottish dish not an English one! It’s a dish from my home county of The Scottish Borders which is not in or even that close to England
This annoyed me almost as much as the terrible Scottish accents in the fourth book
Those aren’t the reasons for my rating, I just didn’t have anything to add that hasn’t already been said by other reviewers

Not quite as good as some of the previous books in the series, but still very enjoyable! The villains were a bit 'meh' for my liking but the new characters as well as Sid and Gilbert were quite fun to read.

This installation of the Magic 2.0 series revived the series for me. Martin and Gwen are no longer the main characters, but rather, their twin children. Characters from previous books make an appearance, with some having larger parts to contribute to the development and resolution of the story, and others to simply remind us the existence of the world-building the author has taken in the Magic 2.0 Universe.

Occasionally tedious as the concept is getting a little stale, but this was unique enough to be enjoyable.
