The Chronicles of Chrestomanci, Vol. 2 by Diana Wynne Jones

3.0

Unlike the first volume, the Chrestomanci is not the protagonist in the two novels featured although he does make an appearance. The stories take place in one (different for each) of the numerous parallel universes, where a magical crisis requires the intervention of the Chrestomanci. The Magicians of Caprona is an adorable allusion to Romeo and Juliet although the stars are the younger siblings of the two lovers. Witch Week is a slightly darker tale, and centers around persecution of the magically talented at a boarding school. Both have creative (no real twists and turns, but fun nonetheless), charming plots in an in an intriguing world, which make it a fast, easy read.
