My first.

This book was my introduction to this series, way back in the early 200s, and was my favorite in the series until I read Games Wizards Play. It’s still a very close second. As always, Christina Moore’s voice is a delight to listen to.

i got hooked

Would you consider the audio edition of Deep Wizardry to be better than the print version?

I never read the paper books so I truly have no comparison

What other book might you compare Deep Wizardry to and why?

I might compare it to the harry potter set

Which character – as performed by Christina Moore – was your favorite?

I can't decide who is my favorite nita or kit I love them both equally

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

The part where the shark took nita's place in the song was the kindest and sweetest thing that could have happened

A must read

Fantastic story telling that anyone can enjoy. 2 young wizards embark on a journey to reenact an ancient whale song to save the oceans and prevent another Atlantis like disaster. Are these noobs ready to begin?

The Friendship

excellent story on maturity and friendship. Good versus Evil and how to defeat the evil.

Concern

I have been a Diane Duane Fan for a long time and it pains me to write a review of concern. This book, while a great story, has a thread of Suicide running through it. Although one could say that it is has a morale basis in self sacrifice, I would say that with suicide so prevalent in today's youth, themes of this nature may not be the most appropriate. Once angain let me stress thati have been a Diane Duane fan and remain so to this day. I love her work, but this one gets a "PG" rating from me.
