Reviews
Publishers Weekly wrote of A School for Sorcery, "The story has its charms, but it's so easy to follow and predict that the plot twists don't and the surprise ending isn't." RT Book Review wrote of A Perilous Power, "A touch of romance and a hint of terror make this a well-rounded, entertaining tale for all ages." Analog Science Fiction and Fact wrote of When the Beast Ravens, "It’s much darker than Potter, but it’s still a nice allegory of adolescence. Parents be warned, though: The darkness makes this one less suitable for kids and more suitable for teens."
