Wizards at War: The Eighth Book in the Young Wizards Series (Young Wizards #08)by Diane Duane
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Nita and Kit return from their wizardly holiday, looking forward to getting back to their everyday routine. But there's trouble brewing. A strange darkness of the mind and heart is about to befall the older wizards of the world, stealing away their power. Soon, the young wizards of Earth and many other planets find themselves forced to defend wizards and nonwizards alike against an invasion of a kind they've never imagined. But mere defense won't be enough to combat the evil afoot. With their alien teammates, Nita, Kit, and Dairine must race to search worlds known and unknown for the secret weapon the Powers That Be have promised them — before the minions of the sinister Lone Power find it first. And then, for the first time in millenia, the wizards must go to war... Review:"The full-cast-reunion aspect prevents this from standing alone, but keep the overall series in mind for Harry Potter buffs whose interests are broad enough to allow them to easily move between Rowling's genteel, mock-Eton fantasy and traditional sf." Booklist Review:"Although Duane has tried to allow each book in the series to stand on its own, most readers will be lost without having read at least some of the predecessors. Those who are familiar with the series will thoroughly enjoy this story, especially its grand and wistful conclusion." School Library Journal Review:"While the overstretched storylines (anthropomorphized wizardry, the divine ascension of multiple characters) are a far cry from the quality fare of So You Want to Be a Wizard? (1983), they still make tasty literary junk food." Kirkus Reviews Synopsis:When Nita and Kit return from their wizardly holiday, a strange darkness of the mind and heart befalls the older wizards of the world, stealing away their power. For the first time in a millennia, the wizards must go to war. Synopsis:The eighth book in the Young Wizards series, now in paperback.
