Summary: wonderful, until the end
Review: This is the third book in the Wizardry series. This book focuses on Dairine, Nita's little sister. Dairine has always wanted to have magic in her life, so that she could go out and defeat the Darth Vaders of the universe. When she found out that her sister is a wizard, she wants to be able to do magic, too. When her family's new computer arrives, Dairine discovers that it can help her do magic. Her obsession with Star Wars inspires her to visit other planets, and the aliens chasing after her force her to travel to planets even farther away than those. Although Nita and Kit are searching for her, Dairine has to learn how to use her new magic before the Lone Power catches up with her. Her adventures will teach her that magic isn't just for fun and games.

I really liked this book. Although there was more tech talk than I would have liked, I still feel like I followed along fairly well. It was really interesting, seeing how Dairine's mind works. She's definitely different from her sister. Her explorations of other planets were very vivid, and I really enjoyed those parts. The only real problem I had with this book was the end. Near the end, everything seemed to get very confusing, and it was not nearly as easy to understand what was going on. It would've been nice if the ending had been clearer. All in all, however, I loved this book. I would recommend it, and this series.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: The best book in the series
Review: This was a awesome book, that focused a lot of it's attention on Dairine, Nita's annoying younger sister. Since I myself have an eleven year old brother who irritates me quite a lot (though I'll admit he's not as bad as Dairine) I found myself truly resenting Dairine's character in the other books. But, since this book told a lot of the story from her point of view, I began to dislike her less, and finally in the end I realized I identified with her quite a bit. This book was definitely the best in the series, both in character development and in writing quality. The Lone Power is such a cool foe! Kind of like the dark side of the Force except it's more solid than that. This book would be good for anyone who likes fantasy, and even those who don't might change their minds reading this books like these.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Wonderful book
Review: What a story. It has everything you could possibly want.
The plot is wonderful. The new ways of casting magic is great.
I liked the concept of being given the power to do magic rather
than being born with it. The only problem was the lack of enemy. It
had The "Lone Power" Ohh!, scary. The ending wasn't very explosive
but it tied up all the loose ends. Other than the lack of enemies
It was great!

Summary: Shrewd but reckless!
Review: Young wizards Nita and Kit face their most terrifying challenge yet: Nita's bratty little sister, Dairine. Not only is Dairine far too smart for a ten-year-old, she also has recently become a wizard, and worse yet, a wizard with almost limitless power. When Dairine's computerized wizard's manual glibly sends her off on her novice adventure-her Ordeal-Kit and Nita end up chasing her across the galaxy, trying to catch up with Dairine before she gets into trouble so deep that not even her brains can rescue her.
I read this book because there was some interesting parts in it. I liked this book because Dairine accidentally went on a big computer chip, and faced the Lone Power by herself. I read this book because I am interested in wizardry. I am a huge fan of wizardry books.
My favorite part of the book was when Dairine fought the Lone Power by herself. She had love, saving her sister and Kit. Then after, Picchu,(Peach), had transferred from a bird to a human, Dairine and company went home. Her computer grew legs! I liked this part of the book.
