- Sandry's development
- Paco (though he was a little annoying - then again, he is just twelve years old)
- the murder mystery
- the new kinds of magic
- the secondary characters, even the grumpy or evil ones were well enough fleshed out and not over the top ridiculous.
The only little complaint I have is that is all goes by so quickly - but that is likely due to it being middle grade and from a time when middle grade books weren't permitted to be long.
