A review by hstapp
High Wizardry by Diane Duane

2.0

All the (then) popular references in this book become annoying quickly. I myself am a big Star Wars fan and can relate to wanting to face the evil's of the universe with a lightsaber in hand, but still this aspect of the book is a bit grating. The series is obviously written for children. Written to guide them, through puberty, among other things. Written to make them interested in science. And otherwise written in a style downplayed to their supposed ability. The story itself is not as exciting as the others. their is a lot of lead up, with most of the excitement happening in the last few pages. Also our heroes from the past two books barely have a part at all, and though we were all ready to learn about Darine's rise, we were more ready for a joint venture a gradual introduction, not this sudden leap.
