I'm vaguely disappointed in you lot. Yes, I mean you. Why did nobody tell me that there's a new Diana Wynne Jones book out?

Well, ok, according to Amazon it's not out - not for another three weeks. But as I bought a copy in Ottakars this afternoon, I'm not entirely convinced I believe them. :-)

(their picture doesn't do justice to the awfulness of the cover, btw. It's metallic blue and too garish for my liking. Although I guess they're aiming for the 11-12 year olds, who might have a slightly different opinion on this...)

Because I didn't know?

Is it very good, or just good? (DWJ never does less, so...)

It's good. It's got Chrestomanci (sort of... :), and the first half is really very good. Just not entirely sure about how the ending comes together - so not quite as good as the Merlin Conspiracy, IMHO.

A review will be heading towards LJ soon, though. :)
