"Written nearly a decade before Harry Potter appeared on the scene, the Magician Trilogy remains fresh and interesting, rich with Welsh history and complex, appealing characters. Nimmo fits tremendous stories into small books. Highly recommended to anyone who enjoys flat-out great stories." — Emily (4 out of 5 stars)
"Written nearly a decade before Harry Potter appeared on the scene, the Magician Trilogy remains fresh and interesting, rich with Welsh history and complex, appealing characters. Nimmo fits tremendous stories into small books. Highly recommended to anyone who enjoys flat-out great stories."
“A rewarding fantasy, especially for fans.”
“With the clipped accent and lilting intonation of Welsh, John Keating gives voice to the wide assortment of extended family, school friends, and villagers caught up in dangerous events beyond their control.”
“Nimmo has skillfully woven the ancient story into the modern one, making it accessible to those who do not know the legend. This satisfying fantasy introduces young readers to the genre.”
" The magician Gwyn must once more use his powers when a wicked spirit breaks free. "
" Not quite as fantastic as the previous two--a little slower perhaps, but still wonderful. My kids wished the series kept going. So did I. "
" It is real interesting and all, but if u didnt read the first 2 books, it is hard to understand, like i was all what the heck when i started reading it, but then i read the prologue. "
" Great kid's story! Third in the magician trilogy. Took about an hour to read. 203 pages "
" This was by far the darkest of the three books in the series. Overall, a good story, but I'm not sure I'll want to reread it any time soon. "
" Good story. Great Childrens book. "
" This trilogy was okay. I enjoyed it more than Griffin's Castle, another of Jenny Nimmo's books I recently read. It seemed better developed and more believable. Decent read, but not likely a re-read. "
" great ending to the series! "
" Series is suitable for older children (7th grade and up), although my youngest child was interested in and read the first two books in this series. Would depend of course on the maturity level of the child, as assessed by the individual parent. "
" This is the end of the series. And no offense, but for once, I'm glad a series is done. Nimmo's other series, Charlie Bone, is much much better than these. "
" I thought these books were magical. A little dark, but imaginitive...and I love the names! "
" great ending to the trilogy. "
" short harry potter read alike "
" this book is about Gwyn and Nia too. in it a strong and an ancient evil escapes from the charred body of a broken toy horse and it inhabits Nia's cousin who comes to visit. "
" So I didn't mind the rest of the series but this book was a little too creepy and dark for me. "
" The magic is back here in Book 3, definitely, but it is darker and more dangerous (until all is resolved in the end). I definitely liked this one the best of the three. "
" What a great ending to the trilogy, and satisfying with the growth of the characters and the establishment of new ones. A more mature read, but still understandable to middle grades. "
" I felt like the author was trying to put too much in one book. The story line just didn't have a good flow and I kept having to go back to figure out what was going on. When the end came there was so much to resolve that the wrap up seemed to take for ever. "
" The best of the three books. It had a decent storyline/plot. Still not a great series though. I much prefer her Charlie Bone books. It would have been nice to have had a Welsh pronunciation guide for the names at the very least. "
