Another from NPR's Ultimate Backseat Bookshelf. The rating is entirely indicative of my enjoyment of the book and does not reflect the quality of the writing/story. I do not like this type of fantasy, and it was kind of a slog for me to finish this book. Very similar to when I had to read The Wiz...

I found the quality across the five books to be too variable to just slap a three or four stars on the whole.That said, I don't feel like writing a review of each. As a ...
