Para quem gosta de aventuras, magias ou ate de mundo mágicos e cheios de aventuras, e também por quem foi apaixonado em tempos por Harry Potter, é uma literatura fácil e um conteudo belissimo, dá vontade de ler e não acabar, ficar ali de olhos agarrados ao livro para o resto da vida, quando acabava a leitura só vem o sabor de querer ler mais ao paladar

I just devoured this one. Very satisfying. Halfway through it I was wondering where did Chrestomanci's incredible savoir faire came from, then the author made sure the reader understood that Christopher is really too young to be anything and, truly, no Chrestomanci is complete before accepting his destiny (like Pichus, all of them). Okay then, he became more intense as he grew up, I'll buy it.

Jones is at her best in the Chrestomanci world. Except when she's in Howl's world, that's her best too.
Perfectly magical and fun, with some sly edginess (of course being the most powerful enchanter in the worlds has its responsibilities and drawbacks! of course you didn't notice you were being a jerk because you're an adolescent having a crappy time of things!). The only drawback to this book? No extravagant dressing gowns like in Charmed Life.

I absolutely love the world(s) of Chrestomanci, the writing, the characters. Character and action are perfectly balanced, loose ends more or less tied up, and it's wonderful how well it stands alone or with the series. Those details make it fun and they're used so well to make it unpredictable, it's a prequel but it's also the first. Full of humour and adventure, I love Christopher's dry remarks, he's a joy to read as an adult or child.
