Cap No hi ha cap discussió a Converses sobre aquesta obra.  jetangen4571 | Sep 4, 2015 |   I love this series! Read it in order (even JAKE & THE GINGERBREAD WARS) as there are people and events referred to from previous books. Some story lines that seemed over are not. Some story lines continue in this story and will go into the next book. Jake seemed to be growing up last book but he has slid back to being a child. His pity party with Red is priceless! He sounds like a kid. Jake has to face his jealousy of a rival for Derek Stone's attention. He also has to look at his actions and learn to be humble when dealing with others. Jake learns that he needs to rely on others as much as they need to rely on him. I love Archie, Dani, and Isabelle. Archie and Isabelle deal with their first crushes. It's adorable! Isabelle also deals with a suitor she does not want and cannot decide if he is serious or harassing her. Dani's temper causes her some trouble but her solution brought a smile to my face. But they are firmly behind Jake no matter what happens. The adults seem oblivious to what the gang is up to until after things happen that become a problem. They never question what Jake and his friends (old and new) are doing even as they watch them preparing their weapons (but you cannot believe what they use for weapons.) I look forward to book 5. RISE OF ALLIES sets it up nicely. There will be plenty of adventures and bad guys for Jake, Archie, Dani, and Isabelle. (  ) Sheila1957 | Nov 30, 2014 | Jake Everton, former thief on the streets of Victorian London and now Earl, has arrived at Merlin Hall to take his Assessment, the outcome of which will determine his future as a Lightrider. He is accompanied by Dani O'Dell, his friend from the streets who has become the companion to his cousin Isabelle, as well as Isabelle herself and her brother Archie. During their time at Merlin Hall, the foursome meet up with Maddox St. Trinian, a future Guardian, and Nixie Valentine, a young witch, both of whom are also undergoing their Assessments. Both Maddox and Nixie are prickly and unfriendly at first, but as time goes by and they have more and more adventures with Jake and the others, their standoffishness diminishes. After traveling with a Lightrider to treat a case of dragon pox, adventures within the paintings of the Enchanted Gallery, and working together to combat the evil spirits who are tormenting Nixie, the children become fast friends. This was fun to read and I recommend it for anyone who likes fantasy mixed with some humor. Although there are some references to occurrences from the previous books, I believe this book could be read on its own; it will simply inspire the reader to go back and discover what else Jake and his companions have done! Note: I received a free copy of this book from the author in exchange for an honest review. (  ) eawsmom | Nov 6, 2014 | Sense ressenyes | afegeix-hi una ressenya
