I really liked this book because it was intriguing and I wanted to read more and more of it. Certain parts of it are kind of dull, with not as much action happening as there usually is. Although, there are very few of those parts and the characters are very interesting. Such as Tancred, a boy who can control the weather. When Charlie went to the castle of mirrors, I was excited because I thought that he would finally find his father. Charlie ended up being disappointed though, as it was not actually his father. Maybe he will in the next one, at least I certainly hope so! I wish that another book comes out soon in this series, as it is a great [series]. I have read all of these books so far and can't wait for the next one to come out. If you are a person that loves fiction with magical powers, this is a book for you. Jenny Nimmo is a great author.
