World-conquering * The Guardian * Fizzing with rich mythology, powerful magic and a host of new characters. * The Bookseller * Cowell's unique warm and witty writing proving as enchanting as ever. Some characters are becoming unlikely stars (a sprite called Squeezjoos is a personal favourite), while Wish and Xar are fast earning their place on the list of much-loved children's literature heroes. -- Holly Williams * The Irish News *
