It&#8217;s a story about a young             magician apprenticed to a master sorcerer with a             mysterious wife and a bizarre household staff. We felt             that it was a skillfully written fantasy novel that             would appeal to young adults. One person was reminded             of <em>The Sword in the Stone<\/em>, both in tone and in             certain plot elements. We found that although the story             was well plotted and cleanly told, the characterization             lacked depth. Overall we liked the book and enjoyed the             novelty of reading a short standalone fantasy novel,             and we&#8217;re curious what Ms. Shinn will write in the             future.<\/p>\n<p><em>&#8211;A.
