I so love this book. The pages are yellow but still good enough to keep reading. Kept my imagination going. A must read for anyone interested in magic.

Light, distracting reading. I enjoy Simon Hawke when I'm worn down and just need a simple, imaginative fantasy.

Too graphically violent. I don't understand the choice of cover design at all - there's only a little bit of humor.
I have read this book 5 or 6 times it is the continueation of The Wizard series by Simon Hawke.
