In this sequel to Dark Lord of Derkholm, Jones turns her imaginative attention to the Wizards' University, skillfully pulling together an enormous cast, a dozen convergent plots, an entertaining and well-developed setting, and her trademark humor for the rousing finale. Jones's command of her material is so exceptional that a certain other magical aspirant might well find it fruitful to spend time studying at this school of wizardry.
