Changes

And the story isn't shoddy, either. OK, the cast list if you like is a little too small for the big reveal to be up to much, but that might not apply for the target audience anyway. Before then there are spooky atmospheres, quirky characters and unusual events, all conveyed with a fine clarity and great, punchy writing. There's a PG-level darkness, a decent, underplayed sense of humour, but most importantly a more than decent plot. This might look like a fair few other franchises, but rest assured it has a character and spirit all of its own, and if the previous four books are anything like this, they're well worth investigating.
