content: This was a awesome book, that focused a lot of it's attention on Dairine, Nita's annoying younger sister. Since I myself have an eleven year old brother who irritates me quite a lot (though I'll admit he's not as bad as Dairine) I found myself truly resenting Dairine's character in the other books. But, since this book told a lot of the story from her point of view, I began to dislike her less, and finally in the end I realized I identified with her quite a bit. This book was definitely the best in the series, both in character development and in writing quality. The Lone Power is such a cool foe! Kind of like the dark side of the Force except it's more solid than that. This book would be good for anyone who likes fantasy, and even those who don't might change their minds reading this books like these.
