Review #1

I bought this book because I had read ‘So You Want to Be a Wizard’ (the first book in the series to which this book is the third) when I was in elementary school, and for nostalgia’s sake, I wanted to read the whole series. The book came in perfect condition (save a few dings in the softcover from shipping). It was well worth the money!!

Review #2

High Wizardry audiobook series Young Wizards

The first in this series than moves outside Diane Duane’s familiar home ground– it moves far outside that ground (beyond the red-shift limit of the universe.) More importantly, it is a great book about being sisters, about the border of friendship and romance, and about finding one’s place in the world.

This is a very good novel in a very well realized series. the teen characters are well drawn and engaging, and the world building is brilliant, including aplausible reason why the younger wizards are the most powerful. Recommended for young adults of any age. I read it years ago and bought again recently. It was just as good as I remembered.

Review #3

Audiobook High Wizardry by Diane Duane

I am an older reader who enjoyed the Harry Potter books and I thought this series might be fun to read. I was very disappointed.

On page 102 the author states, in third person narrative, that 1) the earth spins at 17,000 mph, 2) the earth travels in its orbital path at 175,000 mph and 3) that the sun travels at 115,000 mph. These are all grossly incorrect. 1) should be 1040 mph. 2) should be 67,000 mph, and 3) is 490,000 mph.

Some may consider this unimportant. But why should readers be exposed to ‘facts’ that seem to be just made up. Scientific facts are not trivia. On page 145 the author uses light-years as a unit of time. This is the mark of a true ignoramus.

Everything else about this book is at this level. The plot, the descriptions, the action sequences would barely get a C- in freshman English. How did this get in print?

Review #4

Audio High Wizardry narrated by Christina Moore

To recap: In books 1 and 2 of this series, Juanita Callahan and Christopher Rodriguez, junior-high-school students, acquired manuals that teach wizardry, became wizards, underwent an Ordeal, and saved the world twice (both times at great cost) from the “Lone Power,” the Being that gave the multiverse entropy and death. Along the way, they gave the Lone Power an option that It has not had before – the option to repent and rejoin the other Powers that Be. In book 2, Nita’s family learned about her wizardry; her sister Dairine was, to put it mildly, jealous.

In this volume, Dari acquires a manual of her own – in the form of a laptop computer. The first thing she does with it is go to Mars, followed by a trip across the Local Cluster, pursued by the Lone Power’s agents and wreaking havoc as she goes, and playing godmother to a new species of silicon-based life. Nita and Kit must follow her and bring her home … but this is _her_Ordeal, and they can’t really interfere…even when the Lone Power _does_.

As before, Duane writes cleanly and creates fascinating characters. Where the first two volumes were entirely from Nita’s point of view, here she spreads it to Darine, who is very different and sees the world differently. There is humor and seriousness, and an unexpected, but logical and satisfying, denouement.

Dairine. You’ve gotta love Dairine. She’s eleven years old, a genius who enjoys solving equations, a Star Wars-obsessed preteen, and — oh yes. A wizard.

Ever since she discovered her sister Nita’s Art, she’s been desperate to get it for herself. And little Dari can’t just wait for the Powers That Be to present the opportunity to her. Of course not. Instead she finds Nita’s wizards’ manual and takes the Oath herself…right before being plunged straight into Ordeal, the test of initiation all wizards have to undergo before they begin errantry — and for for atypical Dairine, the Powers have devised an atypical Ordeal, which involves nothing short of intergalactic planet-hopping with a wizards’ laptop, until finally landing on an empty planet made almost entirely of silicon…

In other words, a computer chip. A big, planetary, intelligent computer chip.

And so her computer gets to work trying to communicate with the Motherboard, as the planet is called, and soon the planet’s awareness is stimulated. Aliens with the minds of computers emerge, all of them wizards thanks to Dairine’s intervention, and now comes the challenge that constitutes Dairine’s Ordeal, the real reason she’s here…

For in the beginning of all species’ existence, the Lone Power, inventor of death and entropy, comes to try to sell Its invention. And this computer species is no exception. Now Dairine, fighting not against Darth Vader but against the Lone One, fighting not with lightsabers but with logic, has to convince her “children” not to accept the Lone One’s offer to stop the universe and thus cease entropy. She has to convince them not to repeat the Garden of Eden-like mistake her race, and all the others, have made before — and if she fails, all of her “children” will die.

I liked High Wizardry better than any of the other books in this series, though The Wizard’s Dilemma and Wizards at War come really, really close. I love Dairine as a character, and though the series has some odd contradictions throughout it (the difference between Nita’s and Dairine’s Oaths, Dairine being described as a great sister in the first and a brat in the third, etc.) it is great as a whole. Just because you might never have heard of it is no reason not to buy it. The whole series is wonderful and thought-provoking…and maybe even educational, too.
