A review by kitsuneheart
Deep Wizardry by Diane Duane
5.0
A poetic return to the Young Wizards series. Kit and Nita lend their power to the whales, entering into the Song of the Twelve, a re-enactment of the Lone Power's temptation of the ocean. If they succeed, he will be trapped once more and the Earth will have peace and prosperity for many years. If they fail...well, the last failure was what destroyed Atlantis. And New York is a lot closer to the water than the old ancient city....
The audiobook of this really made things better, for me. I'd read this about ten years ago, and it was still good, but hearing the Song of Twelve recited, rather than simply reading it, was a great experience. So, if you like audiobooks and can get a copy easily, go ahead.
The book quality in general matches the first book in the series, though I was relieved to see far less focus on the theme of bullying. After all, Nita and Kit are powerful, now. It's a bit of a nonsense theme. Instead, the book focused on sacrifice and the importance of oaths. Kit and Nita display wisdom beyond their years but, to be fair, they ARE wizards.
A wonderful sequel to an already well-begun series. Definitely worth your time.
