Initial Response
Okay...WHAT IN THIS DEEP WORLD JUST HAPPENED. I have no actual idea, but I LOVED IT TO LITTLE BITS AND PIECES.
High Lights
- O_O

- !!!!!!!!!
- How to review this: I have no literal idea.
- CHARACTERS. WORLD-BUILDING. DIALOGUE. I LOVES IT ALL.
- HOWARD. AGHHHH HELP MEEEEE. *brain explodes* How does this even work? How is it possible? I DON'T KNOW. BUT IT'S AWESOME. I, personally, would've liked to see him more as Venturus. Just me?
- THE GOON. Can I just say, that I did not like him at all. I almost liked him, till the whole revelation at the end. But POINTS FOR DELICIOUS DECEPTION.
- ARCHER. I don't even know why I like him. I really don't. Because, I kinda hate him, but also like him, and these are just really confusing feelings I'm having and I really can't explain. At all.
- Catriona and Quentin are basically my favorite thing. Especially at the end, when Quentin uses the magic of words and pretty much defeats all the bad wizards. Yesssss.
- TORQUIL. AND HATHAWAY. I'M USING TOO MANY CAPS, AREN'T I.
- Help I'm drowning in plot twists.
Low Lights
- Um...none?
- Well, I think it's okay for me to say that I absolutely despised Awful. Which, I suppose makes sense, and I was supposed to dislike her, but still. *disgusted face*
Conclusion
Basically, I want to hug this book for ever and ever and never let it go. Magic system was SO. COOL. Also, the dialogue, characters, EVERYTHING. This is NOT the last DWJ I'm going to be reading, FOR SURELY. THANK YOU DEBORAH for introducing me to the wonder that is Dianna Wynne Jones!! :D
