  <default_description>In the third installment in the Magic or Madness trilogy, the people Reason Cansino loves most are all in danger. Reason's mother, Sarafina, has disappeared from the mental hospital in Sydney with Reason's evil grandfather, Jason Blake. Jay-Tee, the closest thing Reason has to a best friend, has used all of her magic and faces death at any moment. Only Reason can find the answers within her family's magic to save everyone who matters most to her.&lt;p&gt; &lt;i&gt;Magic's Child&lt;/i&gt; is a satisfying and thrilling conclusion to a breakout trilogy that launched to multiple starred reviews and earned spots on the 2006 BBYA final list, as well as the Locus 2005 Recommended Reading List.</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[Not a bad conclusion to the trilogy. A complex ending. All the narrators in Magic or Madness are unreliable; was there a happy ending? It's hard to say. Did Reason make the right decision? Also hard to say. An interesting departure from the usual young adult fantasy.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I'm not quite sure if this is a full 3 stars or 2.5 stars. I keep going back and forth. Most of this book was so strange, though it all stayed together better than I had imagined it would.<br/><br/>A decent conclusion to the trilogy, though we never really learn anything about the feathers and oth...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/77253580">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I plowed through the first two books in the trilogy loving the flow of the story.  The endings are all clever to give resolutions but still force me on to the next book.  This third book left me feeling a little -eh-.  <br/>Maybe it was the fact that only about two or three days had passed for the ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/20469883">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This one wasn't too bad.  It was really interesting to hear how Larbalestier viewed magic in the book but I found it a little annoying that the whole God card was brought into it. I just didn't understand that. I also was annoyed with the whole Danny part too.  It really wasn't a bad story.

    <body><![CDATA[man these books are fantastic...and very hard to describe.  larbalestier puts an entirely new spin on the whole magic user book and makes it something else entirely.  this book finds the lead, reason, trying to find a way to save everyone she loves from awful fates.  these are sometimes confusing bo...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/54285938">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[i think Reason gave herself up too easily. she was a strong character. i mean yeah, she might be close to dying, but it didn't mean losing your virginity to someone who obviously gave pity to her. it was still a nice ending [: the whole spirit things touching inside her stomach was awkward XP]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I liked this series!  Something about its style was really unique to me, had kind of a candid realism that I liked.  I think what I mean by that is that lots of things I didn't expect happened, and also that things didn't always sound pleasant.<br/><br/>I personally felt the series got less gripping...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/34162096">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I liked this trilogy a lot but the conclusion was disappointing. The story was building up to Reason finding a third way beyond madness or early death, a way to have her cake and eat it too, but instead they get the Narnia ending. I hate the Narnia ending.]]></body>
