Ratings and reviews

This series is a bit of a twist on normal Morgan Rice fare. While it has the same types of wheels within wheels situations, I feel it is more geared for a younger fantasy audience. Although I have been enjoying it, I still have a hard time wrapping my head around 11 and 12 year old heros who have the knowledge and schooling of those years beyond them. I am not fond of the vendetta held by Chris against Oliver. IMO, it detracts from the overall plot progression. I am still enjoying the series.

It's unbelievable,l mean the story is being presented very nicely. l can't stop reading it. I liked everything in this story like the characters, magic, tragedies, love, friendship, time traveling and of course Oliver Blue. This book has its own magic in it. Oliver gone through so many tragedies but still he fight against them and we should learn so many things from that boy. And if course Morgan rice, she is a amazing story writer and l look forward more interesting stories written by her.

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. I found myself letting responsibilities go in order to continue reading long after I had planned to stop. Luckily, it was the holidays, so I had a little time to spare. :) Oliver is such an easy character to like and root for. His relationships with the people around him, from Esther on one end to Chris on the other, brought a lot to the story, I think. I hope this doesn't give the wrong impression, but to take a story as simple as this one and give it the sense of suspense and anticipation that makes you want to keep reading is a testament to Rice's writing ability, in my opinion. I LOVE the short chapters. It's like eating potato chips; you find it so easy to just have just ONE more. The villains were mean and nasty, which makes you root for Oliver and company that much more strongly. I can't wait for the next installment!
