The kid loved these. Fun to read as a family. Kids, magic, fairies, giants, dragons, mermaids. Good problem solving, cooperation, siblings making up after an argument, good risk taking. I wish the parents were cool enough to be in on the adventure instead of the kids lying, but some parents aren't trustworthy. Holly Black is a phenomenal storyteller.

Entertaining, not much of a challenge. I only read them while waiting for a book to be on release... but I don't regret reading them.

A very nice and well done sequel to the first series, it focuses more on the protagonist's personal problems than the first. I think this is more down-to-earth, but it helps to develop the awesome world Black and DiTerlizzi created.
