The Chronicles of Chrestomanci, Volume 1: Charmed Life / The Lives of Christopher Chant by Diana Wynne Jones

4.0

Jones books are a cozy visit to childhood for me. Her descriptions are vivid, her main characters likable, but imperfect, and her magical worlds are such inventive fun! Besides which, she always has a plot that is climatic, but actually makes sense, and is fun to read through even when you've read it so many times you already remember who the villain is and how it will all come together. Intellectually understanding how hard that is to pull off just makes them even more enjoyable to read.
