5.0étoiles sur 5 Courtesy of Teens Read Too, Avril 23 2008
I read this book for the first time while waiting for the release of the fourth Harry Potter book, looking for something to fill the empty space. To my surprise, I found a book that I would argue is at least as good as Harry Potter--and perhaps better.

The second book in Diane Duane's YOUNG WIZARDS series starts with middle school friends, Nita and Kit, on vacation together with Nita's family at the beach. They think it's going to be just another summer, but they couldn't be more mistaken. Nita and Kit are both wizards, and the forces of evil don't take vacations. The job of wizards is to fight the Lone Power, the one who created death and continually attempts to trick people into accepting it. Wizards work with spells learned from their wizards' manuals, and the use of the Speech, a language that all things, animate or inanimate, understand.

When Nita and Kit are summoned to help a whale wizard who's been wounded by whalers, they find out that things have not been going well in the Sea, and that if the wizards don't do something about it soon, the problems may spread to land in the form of earthquakes and tidal waves. The solution is to perform the Song of the Twelve in order to bind the Lone Power and keep It from wreaking havoc on the east coast. And in the case of these two young wizards, they have to do all this while keeping their powers secret from their parents, who are beginning to wonder what they spend their days doing.

The main characters are compelling, but the supporting cast is just as strong, consisting of equal numbers of whales and humans. Duane's portrayal of life under the sea, and the ways that humans can unknowingly affect it, is insightful and true. The tension rises throughout the story, so that every scene is more intense than the next.

I must have read this book ten times, and every time I get to the ending, I'm so caught up in it that I can't put it down until I'm done. The language of the story itself is beautifully descriptive, not just of the underwater world, but also of the characters' emotions. A story about friendship, duty, and sacrifice whose truth and beauty still amaze me, more than six years down the road.

This is the best book in the series, and I should know, having just finished the sixth book. However, I don't know what sets this book apart, it just kind of is.

5.0étoiles sur 5 Young Wizards Afloat, Jui 18 2004
Par Lonnie E. Holder "The Review's the Thing" (Columbus, Indiana, United States) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Deep Wizardry (Paperback)
In the first book in this series, "So You Want to Be a Wizard," we were introduced to Juanita (Nita) Callahan and Christopher (Kit) Rodriguez, originally aspiring wizards, but by the end of that story they had proven their skill. In this story there is something disturbing happening deep under the ocean. In order to prevent the world from being destroyed the Song of the Twelve must be sung. Each of the singers in the song plays a role in a drama that dates back to prehistoric times.

Much of the story is devoted to learning about the history of the song and role the various original singers played, along with learning about each of the characters that are set to play the twelve. This background leads into the singing of the new song. Nita volunteers to play the part of the Silent Lord. However, Nita did not realize at the time that she volunteered that the job of Silent Lord comes at a price, a very high price.

Skillfully woven into the background is resentment by some cetaceans that humans have been so careless with life and the ocean in general. Whales can long for revenge in the universe of the Young Wizards.

Diane's tale is a fascinating look at life under the ocean as its inhabitants might perceive it. At the same time Diane took the opportunity to have Nita and Kit continue to mature, both in life as well as their wizardry. This tale is much darker than the first story in the series, and is meant for maturing young adults rather than children. However, if you are in the mood for a serious story, you'll find this sequel to be better than the original and will make you long for the next book in the series, "High Wizardry."
