Could it be Draco Malfoy, a more poisonous rival than ever? Could it possibly be Hagrid, whose mysterious past is finally told?

Or could it be the one everyone at Hogwarts most suspects. Harry Potter himself?

I love this book, of course I do, but the fact remains that this book prominently featured two of my most hated Harry Potter characters. Ginny Weasley and Dobby. There, I said it.

I hate them both. In my Harry Potter hate list, Ginny and Dobby probably rank somewhere below Umbridge and Peter Pettigrew. Yeah, you heard me. I hate them that much.The reason I hate Ginny is-well, never mind. I don't want to start another shipping war here, the last one was terrible enough, so let the reason for my I love this book, of course I do, but the fact remains that this book prominently featured two of my most hated Harry Potter characters.

All his eagerness and shit - and yeah, I know what happens in the end. Doesn't matter. I still hate Dobby. Dobby is the equivalent of fingernails on chalkboard for me. If he had been my elf, I'd have given him a sock already so he could his whimpering, sniveling ass out of my life.

He means well, I know he does, it's just that he's such a frustratingly well-meaning bumbling idiot. “You know what, Harry? If he doesn’t stop trying to save your life he’s going to kill you.”Aaaaaaaand one final note. “Ginny!” said Mr. Weasley, flabbergasted. “Haven’t I taught you anything.

What have I always told you? Never trust anything that can think for itself if you can’t see where it keeps its brain?'

No particular reason I included that, except for the fact that it reminded me of my ex-boyfriend:3. On to the next one!.' It is our choices, Harry, that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities.'

What can I say that hasn't been said before about this series? What words can do this book justice?

I've felt at a loss on how to explain my feelings for these books as I've read them. I didn't experience them as a child and therefore my experience is clearly different than most others on here, but in some ways I think it's just as magical to read these for the first time On to the next one!.'

I didn't experience them as a child and therefore my experience is clearly different than most others on here, but in some ways I think it's just as magical to read these for the first time as an adult as it was for everyone who devoured these as they were published in their childhood. I have kids, so I was constantly wondering how my 5 year old will accept these books when she's a bit older and tried to view the story through her eyes.The holidays are always a busy, stressful time for us. All of our family is a hefty distance to travel to and, on top of that, we're moving into our new place this month. All I could think about was how desperately I wanted to escape all of my adult responsibilities for just a bit each day, and this was the perfect book to do so with. No matter your age, the magical world of Hogwarts is truly spectacular; the characters are such that they stay with you even after the final page is turned and the writing takes you back to a place you weren't sure existed for us old farts anymore.

If you have been hiding under a rock for the past 20 years like I have, I highly encourage you pick these books up and get swept away like I did. Time is a precious commodity these days, and you couldn't spend it in a better way than with these precious kiddos.

Harry and Ron stealing the car and flying it to Hogwarts? Gilderoy Lockhart? Nah, I could happily go without it.But then there's things that are just brilliant. The Valentines dwarf singing Harry a love song, Hermione Granger being a genius through and through, Fawkes, unwillingly funny Moaning Myrtle.I think one of the reasons this may be the weakest part of the series is that it resembles Part One so much: Someone tries to hurt Harry during Quidditch, there's a hidden chamber deep underneath Hogwarts and Harry has to face Voldemort in said chamber.Now, you have to understand that there is nothing I love more than Harry Potter, and this book is one of the most brilliant things ever written. I'm a proud Potterhead and Gryffindor and will always love this world.

Re-Read in December 2015 for Harry Christmas to YouThis time around I realized how much more entertaining this book is compared to the movie. Nothing against the movie because I LOVE it, but this book has so many more fun scenes! Like Arthur and Lucius PHYSICALLY FIGHTING EACH OTHER and Dobby tossing Lucius down a flight of stairs at the end. Reading this aloud with Kyle literally had us laughing like crazy.

I find that every time I read these books I notice more things, which was definitely true this time around.One thing I did notice, which COULD HAVE SOLVED EVERYTHING:At the beginning of the book when they're leaving for King's Cross, Ginny forgets her diary and has to back for it.

SHE NEARLY LEFT IT BEHIND. OH MAN.Overall, this was a great time, but I'm excited to finally get to my favorite books in the series!!! This was a cute middle grade book. Even though it was slow, I liked it a little more than the first book since at this point the world has already been established and now we get to see more of the characters and the setting.

Ron and his family, especially the twins, are endearing. I also thought it was interesting seeing Harrys internal struggle with whether he was truly Gryffindor or Slytherin, and the payoff later on about how it is our choices that show what we truly are.

I didn’t like how the mystery was conveniently solved, the monologue of explanation from the villain at the end, and how Hermione was literally petrified throughout most of the book just so that she wouldn’t have figured everything out right away. But I’m glad to finally be done with this book so that, just like Dobby, I am free.

I have picked a ton of pictures from the book but believe me, there are plenty more beautiful ones in the book.

Plus, if your a Harry Potter fan you will be getting the book anyway if you haven't already!So poor Harry is stuck back with the Dursley's on Privet Drive. And even though Harry is a relative, they still treat him like poo because he's magical.

Ewwwwww.Harry is depressed because he has be cut off from talking to his friends or getting any kind of correspondence. Even poor Hedwig has been locked in her cage and hasn't been able to fly around. But Harry can't use magic inside the muggle world.Then Harry meets Doby - the little house-elf that is waiting for him in his room.It turns out that Doby has been intercepting his correspondence because he fears for Harry's life and doesn't want him to return to Hogwarts.

So Doby causes some problems at the house that get Harry in trouble. I had to add this cute little picture of Doby running off, look at his little butt.

Lol ↓Then one night, Ron, George and Fred pull up outside Harry's window in their dads flying car to save Harry. It's pretty funny how they get it all going but that is okay as long as Harry gets away from his evil relatives.Of course, Mrs. Weasley is not pleased when they get back home.

The sneaking out part didn't work very well, but she welcomed Harry with open arms and he stayed with them until it was time for them all to go back to school.I love that picture of the Weasley house =)Life at The Burrow was as different as possible from life in Privet Drive. The Dursleys liked everything neat and ordered; the Weasleys' house burst with the strange and unexpected. Harry got a shock the first time he looked in the mirror over the kitchen mantlepiece and it shouted, 'Tuck your shirt in, scruffy!' The ghoul in the attic howled and dropped pipes whenever he felt things were getting too quiet, and small explosions from Fred and George's bedroom were considered perfectly normal. What Harry found most unusual about life at Ron's, however, wasn't the talking mirror or the clanking ghoul: it was the fact that everybody there seemed to like himPoor sweet Harry and I would love to live with the Weasleys' for a bit =)Look at cute, fat little Scabbers ↓The kids are going to meet Hermione to get some shopping done. But ole Harry takes a wrong turn down the chimney hole and ends up in some creepy shop.

He hides and gets to hear some things Malfoy and his father are talking about.Finally Harry makes it out of the store and Hagrid finds him and gets him to the right place with his friends.Then Ron and Harry are blocked from getting on the train soooooo back to stealing the flying car.AND of course they get into trouble when they get to Hogwarts but it wasn't anything too bad.Snape looked as though Christmas had been cancelled. He cleared his throat and said. 'Professor Dumbledore, these boys have flouted the Decree for the Restriction of Underage Wizardry, caused serious damage to an old and valuable tree. Surely acts of this nature.'

It will be for Professor McGonagall to decide on these boys' punishments, Severus,' said Dumbledore calmly. 'They are in her house and are therefore her responsibility.'

He turned to Professor McGonagall. 'I must go back to the feast, Minerva, I've got to give out a few notices. Come, Severus, there's a delicious-looking custard tart I want to sample.'

There is a new Defence Against the Dark Arts professor named Gideroy Lockhart. He's a bit off but still.Anyway things are not right at Hogwarts. (are they ever?) And Harry and the gang must figure out what's going on.Poor ole Hagrid gets sent off to Azkaban for something he didn't do!Malfoy is a jerk, as if we didn't know that. LolHarry and Ron go out in the woods to meet Aragog the spider that is friends of Hagrid to find out some truth behind some stuff.Comes to find out there is this diary of a person named Tom Riddle.

I'm not telling you who this person really is but they are the one causing all kinds of trouble for a lot of people.In the end Harry has to end up fighting a Basilisk to set things right. He has the help of the sorting hat for reasons, Dumbledore's Phoenix and a sword. Oh happy day!There is loads more to the book then the things I have described but you can just read it and if you haven't, why haven't you? Harry Potter rocks and always will.There is another happy ending for sweet Doby! ♥Harry gives Dobby his stinky sock so this releases Doby. He now has his freedom from the evil Lucius Malfoy!

Come, Dobby, I said, Come!' But Dobby didn't move. He was holding up Harry's disgusting, slimy sock, and looking at it as though it were a priceless treasure.' Master has given Dobby a sock,' said the elf in wonderment. 'Master gave it to Dobby.' 'What's that?'

'What did you say?' 'Dobby has got a sock,' said Dobby in disbelief. 'Master threw it, and Dobby caught it, and Dobby-Dobby is free.'

Lucius Malfoy stood frozen, staring at the elf. Then he lunged for Harry.' You've lost me my servant, boy!' But Dobby shouted, 'You shall not harm Harry Potter!' There was a loud bang, and Mr.

Malfoy was thrown backwards. He crashed down the stairs, three at a time, landing in a crumbled heap on the landing below.

He got up, his face livid, and pulled out his wand, but Dobby raised a long threatening finger.' You shall go now,' he said fiercely, pointing down at Mr. 'You shall not touch Harry Potter.

You shall go now.' Lucius Malfoy had no choice. With a last, incensed stare at the pair of them, he swung his cloak around him ad hurried out of sight.This book is wonderful, it always has been and always will, and the graphics in this book make it even better. It is our choices, Harry, that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities.And here I go with another one of my short My thoughts about this book reviews. I cant believe that I forgot so many things. Like for instance the fact that Dumbledore actually was a Transfiguration teacher before he became headmaster.

Kinda suitable that this is McGonagalls role now.;-)1.) Harry Potter asks if he can help Dobby Dobby has heard of your greatness, sir, but of your goodness, Dobby never knewAww ”It is our choices, Harry, that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities.”And here I go with another one of my short “My thoughts about this book” reviews. I can’t believe that I forgot so many things. Like for instance the fact that Dumbledore actually was a Transfiguration teacher before he became headmaster. Kinda suitable that this is McGonagall’s role now.;-)1.) ”Harry Potter asks if he can help Dobby Dobby has heard of your greatness, sir, but of your goodness, Dobby never knew”Aww Dobby! It was so good to see him again! He’s really one of the best HP characters ever and this even though he made it kind of tough to like him.lol.

Well, at least at the beginning. XD2.) ”Your sons flew that car to Harry’s house and back last night!” shouted Mrs Weasley. “What have you got to say about that, eh?”“Did you really?” said Mr Weasley eagerly. “Did it go all right? I-I mean,” he faltered, as sparks flew from Mrs Weasley’s eyes, “that-that was very wrong, boys – very wrong indeed ”I’ll always love how Mr Weasley is more interested in finding out if the car flew well than in his kids actually flying the car!.lol. Also Molly Weasley giving him hell for not reacting the way a responsible parent is supposed to is just epic!

You can see they have a great marriage!;-P3.) ”Mr Weasley had a cut lip and Mr Malfoy had been hit in the eye by an Encyclopedia of Toadstools.”How could I forget that Mr Weasley threw himself at Malfoy? One of the best things in this book ever! Not that I support violence (I’m a pacifist) but even I can’t help appreciating that Lucius Malfoy for once, actually had his ass handed to him. XD4.) ”That vanishing cabinet was extremely valuable!” he was saying gleefully to Mrs Norris.

“We’ll have Peeves out this time, my sweet.”How come I never noticed this before?! The foreboding!!! Like damn, there are so many things that are mentioned only briefly and rather casually and then when you continue to read the series they reappear with a vengeance! Oo With every book I read I’m more and more awed by J.K Rowling’s genius!5.) ”Homework: compose a poem about my defeat of the Wagga Wagga werewolf! Signed copies of Magical Me to the author of the best one!”Gilderoy Lockhart is so full of himself!

I swear he must have been the worst DADA teacher they ever had. And they had many over the years which even Dumbledore can’t deny.

Loved that bit at the ending when he said he’d have to write an ad because they “seem to run through them”.lol.6.) ”You are Muggle-born?”“Half-blood, sir,” said Riddle. “Muggle father, witch mother.”There definitely was a history lesson hidden in there. It’s fascinating how Riddle of all people could be a half-blood and then go against Muggle born wizards! I’m sure J.K.

Rowling thought about World War II when she wrote this, because all the pure-blood and half-blood etc. Stuff reminds me of a very dark chapter in German history. I sat down to 'read a few pages' of this before bed two nights ago and had to force myself to stop at page 100.then picked it up and flew through the rest the next day.I really enjoyed this one (as did millions of others, obviously) and, with this installment, I am definitely seeing why this is such a beloved series. The magical wizarding world of Harry, his friends, and the folks at Hogwart's is just FUN to read about.I am in LOVE with Fawkes the phoenix and I adore Dumbledore.And now I am I sat down to 'read a few pages' of this before bed two nights ago and had to force myself to stop at page 100.then picked it up and flew through the rest the next day.I really enjoyed this one (as did millions of others, obviously) and, with this installment, I am definitely seeing why this is such a beloved series. I am always surprised by J.K.

Rowling's ability to make her books an allegory of our modern world and it's big and hideous problems. We all know, after all, that she covered discrimination, wars, hate crime, the Kardashians, etc.Let's take this book for example. Harry goes back to Hogwarts. Now enter Gilderoy Lockhart. A fame enamored charlatan, who knows nothing about anything, except memory spells. So clearly a Kardashian.

Now some might ask: do Kardashians know memory spells. And the answer I am always surprised by J.K.

Now some might ask: do Kardashians know memory spells. And the answer is clearly YES! Keeping Up with the Kardashians is already on Season 13, so some magic must be at work, otherwise you'd have to think the world has gone mad!!!!!Carrying on, Harry has an awful year, mostly because of the fact that he can talk snake language. Actually all of Harry's life is an allegory about fame and how it can easily destroy you, hence Harry might've been modeled after Lindsay Lohan.

But Rowling had to give a moral to the story and because of that Harry ended up fine in the end. Mostly.And to crown all of this awful year, he meets Tom Riddle, who is the heir of Slytherin. He also speaks snake language and has a giant serpent for a pet. So definitely a forefather of Taylor Swift. And look at what that those family ties made her do!! Lessons to be learned from here, people!Now, of course, a lot of questions remain: will the Kardashians magic still work for long?

Will Taylor have a nose job so she could resemble her grandpa? Will I finish this review already?Only time can tell. Overall, I loved this, and I can't wait to start today.Quick thoughts on the things that stood out to me:Wow, the Dursleys were even more loathsome in this book than the first.I love the Weasleys even more than I already did.I am so glad my mother never sent me a Howler.I thought Dobby was annoying in the movie (which I saw when it came out over a decade ago, not having read the book) but I thought he was awesome in the book.

In fact, we rewatched the movie last night, and not only was it as unsatisfying as I remember it, it's just a shit adaptation of this book.I thought it was delightful that the flying car went into the Forbidden Forest and went feral.Tom Riddle's diary was really, really awesome.

The entire idea and execution were fantastic.I loved it when Dumbledore told Harry, 'It is our choices, Harry, that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities.' I hope that, as the series goes on, we have more scenes with him, because I really love his wisdom.My minor complaints seem a little nitpicky, and I suppose that if I'm going to suspend disbelief to accept that wizards are real, I should be able to accept that none of the adults at Hogwarts would look in Hermione's fist to see the paper that Harry and Ron found after she was Petrified and Fawkes somehow just found his way into the Chamber of Secrets , but I'm an adult and if I'd read this as a kid I wouldn't have cared for a single moment. In memory of Alan Rickman who showed us what Severus Snape looks like on the Big Screen.I made myself a promise not to use any stills from any Harry Potter movies in my reviews for any book of the series, but I have to make an exception today January 14, 2016 thus the image above.Even people who somehow managed to avoid reading the books and seeing the movies can guess that this book is about Harry Potter's second year the School of Wizardry, Hogwarts.

Before he gets there though he had to fight the depression from loneliness as his adopted family does not care about him much and his Hogwarts friends seemingly forgotten about him.Fortunately a magical creature called Dobby shows up and instantly makes Harry's life full of excitement: he is convinced Harry's life is forfeit if the latter goes to Hogwarts, so Dobby makes everything in his power to stop Harry from doing this.

Injures and maiming are fair game as long as Harry remains alive. To add to the fun it seems Harry's life as well as that of his friends might really be in danger Dobby hinted at.Like the first one, this book can still fully qualify as a children book however it is darker and it does have some very gloomy and depressing moments; children grew up and matured a little and so is the tale.We get to meet characters familiar from the first book and see their development as well as new interesting ones. Speaking about new people, Gilderoy Lockhart is so full of himself he is excellent. His whole Valentine celebration made me laugh out loud. I think this is the first time we get to meet Lucius Malfoy in person - he is another interesting guy; the last scene with him is excellent.I would like to talk about Harry Potter a little.

I saw lots of people say he is not the main hero of the series; he is just a guy who always gets either lucky, or have a helpful friend handy in tight spots. I saw Hermione named the main hero - she is the brainpower behind Harry's successes most of the time. I saw Neville named the main hero - he has the greatest and most unexpected development of all characters. I would respectfully disagree: Harry Potter is the main hero albeit a reluctant one (compare him to Lockhart to see why). For the proof of this look no further than the final confrontation in this novel.This was my reread of the book; I knew exactly what to expect and I was sure I would rate it with 4 stars until I found myself awoke well in the early morning hours finishing this reread despite the fact that I had to wake up early.

Any book which can do it to me deserves 5 stars.I do not have anything else to add to what I already said; each installment of the series was analyzed and reviewed countless number of times by better qualified people. I will stop right here.

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, J.K. RowlingHarry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, is a fantasy novel written by British author J.K.

I can't say for sure why I don't love it as much as the others, but it's just never stood out to me.However, upon rereading it, I am reminded again how great Rowling is at developing a story arc! Luminous arc 3 english rom. There are so many hints to later parts of the series in this book! Especially with Tom Riddle showing up, the diary, hints of Ron's affection for Hermione, and overall just building up the characters and storyline. It's also really fun to see things of importance show up early in the story come into significance later on.Here are some thoughts on things I noticed or didn't remember about this book while I was reading it:-Like in one of the Harry Potter video games, Ron and Harry de-gnome the Burrow's garden at the beginning of the book.-Hermione's parents actually go to Diagon Alley and exchange Muggle money at Gringott's!-Why wasn't Nearly Headless Nick's deathday party in the movie? Also he died in 1492 which is when Columbus 'discovered' America.

Significant?-'And some old witch in Bath had a book that you could never stop reading! You just had to wander around with your nose in it, trying to do everything one-handed.' (p.231) Sounds familiar.-I really wish they had the Valentine's Day party in the movie, with all the dwarves walking around dressed as cupids and delivering love messages.-Aragog is literally my biggest fear.-Apparently Dumbledore, back in the day, was a Transfiguration professor at Hogwarts.-And finally, I knew Voldemort was an heir of Slytherin, duh, but I didn't realize he was the last heir of Slytherin. Dun dun duuuun.5/5 stars because even when it's my least favorite of the seven, it's still perfect.

I didn't know how much I forgot about this book until I reread it, so I probably enjoyed it very much because I mostly forgot many things in this book. So there are also some things that I want to talk about,Gilderoy LockhartHe was so annoying and irked me so much. Especially in the scene where he set loose of pixies in Defence Against the Dark Arts class and he couldn't even fix this mess! And told Harry, Ron and Hermione to put them back in the cage and he left them, I was like ' what the hell?

' he's so unbelievable. But I must admit that he made me laugh like in the Duelling Club, he was disarmed by Snape and that scene was so funny until I laughed out loud.I disliked him very much for lying about those stories! He's such a liar. Oh and he deserved what he got in the end that he lost his memory because Ron's wand backfired at him.Hermione GrangerI was shocked when I realized that Hermione liked Lockhart. That guy was so annoying. Maybe he was charming BUT he didn't even know any useful spells, like when Harry broke his arm, he conjured a spell and that spell caused Harry to lose his bones in his arm! He just made it worse instead of helping him.And even though I was shocked, I also laughed when I knew that Hermione put a Get Well card from lockhart under her pillow when she was in the hospital wing hahahahaha.

I guess she really liked him. That scene was just so funny. 😂😂Well, overall I really enjoyed re-reading this book and I'm going to read the third book now! ❤️.Edit: Rounded it up into 5 starsREVIEW TO COME ON SATURDAY!

^^4.8 Stars' It is our choice, Harry, That show what we truly are, Far more than our abilities 'Okay guys, before I started reviewing this book, I wanted to tell you something.This saturday, I read this book until 04:30 am and I completely didn't realise that I was reading for 4 hours or so and on that same day I had an economy course with my teacher and I completely forgot about that too until my mom reminded me of it. The course started at 10:00 am o'clock and I woke up at 11:00 am and maybe I'll get into a little bit trouble when I'm coming to school on Monday because of this.

But I really couldn't help it! THIS BOOK WAS SO GOOD AND I COULD NOT STOP READING IT!!okay now let's talking about this book!My Opinionomg! I had a lot of feelings! Happiness and many more and the chapter I most loved was The Duelling Club.

It was so funny to see Professor Snape disarmed Lockhart until he was flying because of the impact of Professor Snape's spell hahaha. XDI don't like calling Lockhart a Professor because he clearly didn't know any spells that were usefull for his students or anyone. Maybe just a Memory Charm. But it was only usefull for him to do his nasty business. Ugh and he was a liar too. All those books he wrote were all faked.If Hogwarts were real, I would be really happy to learn all about Defence Against The Dark Arts. This is the most interesting subject that have really caught my interest since I began reading the first book.

What about you guys? Tell me on the comment section below!

^^and that Duelling Club was so amazing! Learning how to fight with spells!and what schocked me was that Voldemort was used to be a human! And Voldemort was not his real name. His real name was Tom Marvolo Riddle but he changed it.I mean, not an ordinary human,of course.

He was a half-blood. His father was a muggle and his mother was a witch. I knew he was a Slytherin and he studied at Hogwarts too but I never thought him as half-blood was or a child or a teenager. Because he was so evil that I couldn't even imagine what he would look like in the past and he.coughs coughs. used to be handsome.oh! I love Quidditch too! I don't really like sports but it's different with Quidditch.

Quidditch is wonderful and amazing! I even always scream like ' YOU CAN DO IT HARRY! YOU CAN CATCH IT!' And when Gryffindor wins I always scream like ' YAY!! ' Am I weird? I wish Hogwarts were real.

I wish I were at least a muggle-born. I have only read two books in Harry Potter series but they already have changed my life.thank you guys for reading and liking this review!

This book was just as good as, if not better! This one definitely gave me the feels, you know what I mean? Harry, Ron, and Hermione's characters really did improve in a lot of ways.

I should explain, but c'mon. Im pretty sure you're aware of the fact that everything in this series is pure perfection. The plot was a roller coaster ride! The ending was an on-my-fucking-god-just-happened-moment.was perfection. Everything in this baby was so good and well-written, I just can't put into words how much I enjoyed reading this:) Super excited for this one!:). When everyone first read and loved Harry Potter I ignored it.

Not for any particular reason but about 10 years ago I didn't think I would be into it. Fast forward a decade and I'm now working my way through what I can say already is a children's classic fantasy series that is up there with The Wizard of Oz and The Chronicles of Narnia.Harry's existence with his Muggle uncle and auntie is as horrible as ever and he can't wait to get back to Hogwarts after speaking to a mini-elf masochist who When everyone first read and loved Harry Potter I ignored it. Not for any particular reason but about 10 years ago I didn't think I would be into it. Fast forward a decade and I'm now working my way through what I can say already is a children's classic fantasy series that is up there with The Wizard of Oz and The Chronicles of Narnia.Harry's existence with his Muggle uncle and auntie is as horrible as ever and he can't wait to get back to Hogwarts after speaking to a mini-elf masochist who essentially predicts his doom and travelling in an awesome magic-infused flying car.

Upon returning to Hogwarts it's similar to before, Quidditch lessons, Malfoy being a bit of a tosser, Hermainie loving studying, and the wizarding threesome getting into all sorts of nonsensical antics. A new tutor is introduced this time, Professor Lockhart and I thought he was brilliant mainly due to how awful he was with his tall-tales and celebrity status! This narrative is brimming with ghosts, boys and girls who adore Harry, spiders, and Professor Sprout. The characters are pretty brilliant and I can easily understand why this is adored globally. I didn't need the continuous info-dumps that reminded me what happened in book one but apart from that there isn't really anything negative to say. The ending was surprising with a cool twist, a magic hat, a phoenix, a sword, a diary, and a giant snake.

I hope you don't tell me off for these spoilers as I'm sure I'm the only fantasy book reviewer who hasn't read these yet. I'm loving the adventure so far. These books are what I go to for now when I want no-nonsense, uncomplex awesomeness.
