Mixed Magics (The Chronicles of Chrestomanci) [Kindle Edition]

Diana Wynne Jones (Author)

Editorial Reviews

Review

“A new addition to the Chrestomanci canon is cause for celebration.”

Product Description

Dapper, debonair, and wise, the great enchanter Chrestomanci has nine lives and a strong personality as well as strong magic. That personality reverberates in each of these four dazzling stories.

A warlock tries to escape Chrestomanci's justice by fleeing to another world-with hilarious results. Cat Chant and Tonino Montana reluctantly join forces when Chrestomanci sends them on a visit that turns suddenly dangerous. The youngest best-selling dreamer needs Chrestomanci's help when she finds she can't dream anymore. And as the gods of an ever-so-orderly world try to destroy the young Sage of Dissolution, Chrestomanci lends a hand.

Like Chrestomanci himself, acclaimed author Diana Wynne Jones has a graceful flair, which sparkles in the remarkable wit, imagination, and intelligence of these fast-paced tales.

This review is from: Mixed Magics (The Chronicles of Chrestomanci) (Kindle Edition)

Mixed Magics is a book of four short stories related to thee Chrestomanci series by Diana Wynne Jones. The stories take you back into the Twelve Related Worlds to visit with some of our favorite characters, including Chrestomanci, himself. I love the writing style and creativity in all of Diana Wynne Jones' books because when I'm done reading them I feel like I've just returned from a vacation in another world.
