A review by idasouth
The Lives of Christopher Chant by Diana Wynne Jones

5.0

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.
