Empress Angel Godzilla 02.09.2024
This is a great book with lots of magic and mystery. My favourite characters are Xar, Wish and Squeezjoos. I recommend it to people who like stories with adventures and magic. It was a great read and I’m sure I will read more books from this series. But I rate it 4 stars because the book is very long, but hopefully the other books from the series aren’t as long.
Duchess Ursula Manatee 19.08.2024
Wizards of once was a good book but it was not my favourite. The best part was when Squeezjoos got witchblood stained on him but it was annoying that Zar didn't have any magic.

I got the entire series for my birthday, and all four of the books are absolutely AMAZING! Adventurous and funny, with lovable heros and a beautiful plot, this book is among the best ones I've ever read. Upon reading this, you will enter a world of great imaginination.
