Customer Reviews

The Doomspell trilogy
The Doomspell trilogy is an excellent magical adventure. Each book has a new enemy, new characters, and a new storyline, but they are all linked together to a fantastic climax in "The Wizards Promise".The storyline is so imaginative, and yet it still remains belivable, as the characters are not too brave, not too clever, they still feel human. I could recommend these stories to other 10 - 12 year olds.

Great
The doomspell was brilliant but by the third book it kinda felt that the original brilliant ideas had started to dry up, and they got a little bit predictable. But still worth buying them though.

Doomspell trilogy
I am nine years old and I really enjoyed these books. They were really exciting, and I could not put them down. These are my favorite books after Percy Jackson.
