The Times - Mad magician in search of rain
The toughness and realism underlying all Fisher's fantasies is what makes them believable as well as wholly absorbing and aesthetically pleasing, says Amanda Craig

The Archon by Catherine Fisher
I can remember once saying something rather unflattering about a piece of Amanda Craig's journalism, but as The Times reviewer of children's literature she is becoming increasingly worth reading. This is an excellent 4-column, single-title review with a read-on panel clearly researched by Craig herself.

I think that the first book was absolutly wondeful can't wait for the next one to be realeased in the us.
