Nathaniel

overrated
This book wasn't worth the read, the language was poorly written, and hasn't anyone noticed that every single time a person needs something they get it? like the when the need a boat they just happened to accidentally touch a picture that gives them a boat, and with boy 412 in the burrow he was cold and he just happened to find a ring that kept him warm? And what's with spelling all the words wrong just to make it look cool?

magyk series review
I think that the book is dull, not enough action.It never put me in suspense. I have read the other books from this series and I do not like those either.Overall I think it should not have been published.
