A Wizard Abroad: First Post (Thoughts)
I think that this is one of the weakest volumes in this series, but that isn’t to say that it isn’t good. I just don’t think that it meshes with the rest of the series very well. I think Duane really wanted to play with the mythology of Ireland and how it would fit into the existing magical system she had set up for the Young Wizards series. It works fine, but I miss Kit and everything. This kind of feels like a side trip or break from the regular story when I’m not sure one was needed. Even if it is pretty well done!
