Rate Regarding Books The Hound of Rowan (The Tapestry #1)

Reading the first few chapters, I found myself comparing this book to Harry Potter. As one of the most avid reader of H.P. I have to say that I was a little disappointed. But when I got past reading chapter 4, I found myself falling in love with this book. There's a significant difference between this book and H.P. The main plot, unlike H.P, this book does not exactly use "magic" per say, it's based more on the real stuff like science fiction and folklore. I was also amazed by the author's

My decision for my final star rating vacillated between 3 and 4 stars while I was listening to this book. In the end I decided on three, because while I became interested in many of the characters while I was listening to it, and even invested in a couple of them, it lacked much of the inventiveness that I look for when I am reading a magic school narrative. It leaned far too heavily on Harry Potter and other texts that have gone before. The tapestry idea and Asteroth were original, but those

This book is very similar to Harry Potter, and I would recommend it to anyone who enjoyed The Sorcerer's Stone (Harry Potter) or The box and the Dragonfly (The Keepers).Edit: In retrospect, I don't know why I enjoyed this so much, this book really wasn't that good. There were too many characters to keep track of, and it really was an all over the place book. I abandoned the series in this book, as I couldn't bear to continue.

So I think just about any premise involving a young boy going to a school filled with magic and the extraordinary would set up an automatic comparison to Harry Potter, just as any obscure title would be compared to its genre's classic. Knowing that, I did not going in here drawing comparisons; I'm rating this book totally as its own work, giving it the respect it deserves. That being said, maybe I read this with the wrong perspective in mind because I found several issues with it. First off, Max

I didn't know that a genre about magic schools is a thing, I thought Harry Potter was "unique" (not saying it was good, just thought that it was sorta alone) well this is my 2nd series in that genre and I thought it was great. Didn't think much of Harry Potter as I thought it was boring. This on the other hand seems to have more interesting characters and someone who isn't a push over. Plus, this universe doesn't disregard the real one it coexists with. I have always wondered why they never used

A solid start to one of my MOST FAVORITE Middle Grade series!!!

I reead the entire Harry Potter series in May. I see review after review comparing this to Harry Potter, but to me it felt like a combination of a lot of middle grade series like Fablehaven, Percy Jackson, The Magisterium series, with a little tiny bit of science fiction mixed with the fantasy. In other words, the only real comparison to HP is that he receives a letter in the mail to get an evaluation and there is a magic school. And there is references to a chosen one. If that's plagarism, then
