I cried so much over this book, you don't even know. The author does the unforgivable -- she messes with the dog. But then all is put right at the end. Yes, this is a SPOILER, but one that I think should be mandatory in all works of fiction where dogs are endangered. The dog is all right in the end! Doesn't matter if civilization as we know has been destroyed, so long as the dog's okay.Anyway, this book is about all life in the universe coming to an end due to the ever increasing expansion ofAs with all the Young Wizards books, this one has a few weak spots but is generally and genuinely a good read. It's definitely a series you should read from the beginning, there aren't really any standalone books and this one even less than the others, but I felt this book did a good job of balancing the weight of a series this long with the need to move forward in the story.
While there was a lot of action, the book still dragged on and on for me. I liked the recurring characters, and even the resolution, but I didn't care for the pacing, and while the dangers and risks sounded dire, they didn't feel like it. Nice parts, but a bit meh overall.

Possibly the most epic and whirlwind Young Wizards book yet. The strange goings-on in the universe are coming to a head. Entropy seems to be forcing space to expand at a dangerous rate, and a weird dark entity is being spotted in the far reaches of the galaxy. The Lone Power is obviously up to something...but what?Worst of all, the expansion is causing Senior wizards everywhere to lose their powers...and eventually their memories. Without their advice and experience, it literally is up to the
While looking for things to read recently, I remembered I'd never finished the Young Wizards series. The penultimate book brings together elements from all of the previous ones in sort of a grand battle for the universe. Ronan, the Irish boy who carries the Archangel Michael inside him; and the alien wizards from Wizard's Holiday play significant roles, as does Kit's dog Ponch. The Lone Power (the series' name for the Devil, who is the creator of entropy) is speeding up the expansion of the
Another great installment in the series. I wasnt down with everything in the book (did giant bugs really need misogynistic gender roles?) but I love all the characters and the emotional aspects of the story are very effective. I liked seeing a bit more of Dairine and her relationship with her wizardry, and also found a lot of funny parts even with the threats the characters are facing. Also Nita is a badass and its great.
I hadnt read any of Diane Duanes Young Wizards novels in years, and then, while cleaning up for Christmas, I found book seven, which a friend had given me months before. I read it, then had to re-read books 1-6, and then re-read book seven. Then, while my husband was away, I ordered books eight and nine.The thing I love about Duanes series is that while its technically a young adult series, or even meant for kids younger than middle school, its deep enough to appeal to adults as well.
