At first I didn't know where this was going, but I enjoyed it a lot overall. Very tense. Playing on the idea of "the long war" which is a game played between the two brothers in Papa Jack's Emporium in London, a magical toyshop. The blurb on the back is definitely correct, that this would be the toyshop in Diagon Alley!
