The first book, Magyk, got me addicted to this fantasy series by Angie Sage. There was a lot of suspense all the way through because you did not know who was the main character!
When I started reading Darke, the sixth book in the series, I could not put it down! Alther has been Banished (by accident) and the evil Darke mist is taking over the castle. Simon, former Darke wizard, has to choose between saving his mother and letting the Things out of the castle into the city, or leaving his mother to suffocate and letting the city be safe. It's a tough decision, but which one will he choose? I guess that you will have to read the book for yourself!
Anyone who enjoyed Harry Potter will also like Darke because it too has castles, ghosts, magic, dragons and a scary, mystical forest! The characters seem believable and the descriptions of the places are very realistic.
There is nothing in this book that I did not like.
