5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful!, July 29, 1998

By

jennie42 (AZ USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Chestnut Soldier (Hardcover)

My mom brought the whole series back from England for me when I was about 11 years old, I'm 19 now and I wish I hadn't given away my copies! It's a wonderful book, especially for kids (and adults!) who are fascinated by myths and magic. I loved it!

5.0 out of 5 stars Best of the three book series, May 17, 2000

By

James Bow "Writer, The Unwritten Girl" (Kitchener, Ontario Canada) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: The Chestnut Soldier (Hardcover)

Jenny Nimmo's trilogy started by The Snow Spider, continued with Emlyn's Moon and finished with The Chestnut Soldier is all eminently readible children's fantasy literature for all ages. The series, however, has an interesting trait in that it appears to mature from one book to the next. The Snow Spider has the youngest feel of the series, with our hero just turned nine. The Chestnut Soldier deals with more mature themes as the hero turns thirteen. Coincidence?

The Chestnut Soldier is the best of the series, with a strong writing style, complex characters and a good storyline. This series is rare, but well worth getting your hands on. I highly recommend it.

4.0 out of 5 stars This book is best of the Magician Trilogy!, August 24, 2007

A Kid's Review

This review is from: The Chestnut Soldier (The Magician Trlogy) (Hardcover)

I rated this book a 4 because sometimes it exciting but i didn't get a big thrill like "oh my gosh that was so awesome!" I just kept reading and and usually the ending in the rest of the Magician Trilogy books, it just ends with a BAM!If you haven't read the rest of the Magician Trilogy read it!The Magician Trilogy are just like Jenny Nimmo's other series of books Charlie Bone!There big just a bit, but very exciting!If you would compare these books to Harry Potter books Harry Potter books would be better (no offense to Jenny Nimmo!).

Story is in the same line as the previous books. A little short on length but consistent with the other titles.
