The third novel in the Magic Thief series. Conn is still on the hunt to find his locus magicalicus, a stone that lets him do magic as a wizard. This takes Conn away from Wellmet where he exiled for breaking rules. He also has to get rid of this evil magic called Arhionvar that is going to take over Wellmet. Conn finds his locus magicalicus, but a dragon swallows it, so Pip becomes his stone. While trying to defeat the dark magic, he uses himself, which causes him to forget who he is. The novel had quite a few plotlines going to keep the reader going throughout the novel. Although Conn is almost hanged, which seems kind of tasteless for a children’s novel, why would you add that in? It’s fine that they wanted to kill him, but it went too far when he was very close to being hanged. There was also a drawing of noose too. As for characters, they all go through a lot this novel. It’s mostly focused on Conn, but Rowan is loosing her mother, Nevery actually cares for Conn’s welfare, characters are definitely growing. Overall, this novel wasn’t the best in the series, but it did keep the reader reading, and engaged.

I just loved this series. Wonderful characters, a very cohesive storyline and I liked the different take on the origin of magic. Also a huge hit with my 9 yr old son.

The finale of the original and charming Magic Thief series. Conn must find his locus magicalicus to save the magic of Wellmet from the approach of the evil Arhionvar. On his quest Conn will discover his stone and the truth about the magic in his world. Can he recover his stone and save Wellmet? Will doing so cost him more than he can imagine? A wonderful story and a good finish to the series.

Vale, el libro está genial. Pero teniendo en cuenta que los otros dos libros de la saga también lo están muy mal hubiera tenido que estar para que no fuera así. Sin embargo, es el peor de la saga desde mi punto de vista. Y creo que tiene que ver con la selección que hizo la autora de cómo dividir la historia. De alguna manera, mientras en el resto de libros teníamos a malvados carismáticos, en esta ocasión no sucede. Y qué queréis que os diga, pero los malos de libros de este estilo tienen que ser tan carismáticos como los protagonistas, para que por lo menos sientas algo de empatía con ellos.
