Traci's review
A quick, entertaining read, but without much intellectual content. These books are catchy... but you can't say much more than that about them. Some of the later books are weighed down by fluff and filler, but they're worth borrowing from someone and taking a cursory glance at. A short breakdown:
Book 1. A cute story with a nice balance between the high stakes of good and evil and 6th grade drama.
Book 2. My least favorite of the series.
Book 3. My favorite of the series. If you have doubts, start with this one; it's nicely paced and hints at darker tones without being overpowered by them.
Book 4. The tournament is interesting enough if you like puzzles, but this is a turning point for the books growing longer and more tiresome. The ending made me cry.
Book 5. A disappointment filled with too many characters and too much teenage angst.
Book 6. The rest of Book 5, with increasingly dark undercurrents, setting the reader up for a fantastically grim finale...
Book 7. I...more
