More a romantic adventure than one exploring the theme of good vs. evil.

Excellent Magical Romance

Through trials, trouble and travel true love wins through.

Another very satisfying Wizard in Rhyme book.

Don't miss it.

Enjoy.

Read this one a long time ago....I liked it, but it didn't really stick with me too much through the years. Nice, pleasant read...

While the series starts out as quite entertaining, it starts to fall off in plot quality after the first four titles.

Is this the last of the series? Glad to see that Max finally made a comeback in this one, however brief.
