Recently I reread Two Castles in anticipation of its sequel, but after reading the first review here on desertcart I almost didn't buy it. Thankfully, I trusted my gut and went ahead and bought and read it. I couldn't put Stolen Magic down- I loved it! The mystery was very well done with lots of possible, and plausible, suspects. The main characters were as charming as ever and I thoroughly enjoyed this book! My response to the first reviewer's complaint that Lahnt wasn't the "quaint farming community" portrayed in the first book is that the majority of the story doesn't take place in Elodie's hometown and isn't even in a farming community at all. I enjoyed the location and setting of this story and felt it fit perfectly with the world of the first book. As for the reviewer's complaint about Count Jonty Um's presence feeling forced in the book, I don't agree. I think what would have helped would have been a better reminder at the beginning of the story of why the group- girl, ogre, dog, and dragon- were traveling together and why they were in Lahnt. The connection of Stolen Magic to its prequel is brief and incomplete, there's no mention of Tair in the first few chapters, which will make it more difficult for those who haven't read the first book at all/recently to understand/remember the main characters' purpose in being in Lahnt. Here's a reminder: At the end of Two Cities the Count decides to travel to Tair where there are several ogres and where he feels he will better fit in, unlike Two Castles where the "humans are... clannish". He hires Meenore and her assistant to accompany him and his dog, Nesspa, on the journey. Elodie explains that "one way to reach Tair involved crossing Lahnt" where she might see her parents and friend, Albin. The passages from the Count's and Meenore's points of view were a bit distracting, but they were short and necessary to know what the ogre and dragon were experiencing. I loved some of their experiences and felt the writing of these passages fit well with each character's personality. Overall this was yet another charming and enjoyable book by Levine that I'm thrilled to add to my collection of favorite books! Oh, and for those who purchase the Kindle version, be sure to scroll back to the front of the book (my Kindle Fire automatically jumps to the first chapter which is really annoying) to see the two maps, one of Lahnt and the other of the Oase. Sadly, I missed these; they would have been really helpful to consult while reading Stolen Magic. -Rachel Review: Good fun - This is an interesting novel about a young girl who works with a dragon detective. IT teaches her how to reason and she becomes its assistant. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #645,138 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #435 in Children's Royalty Books (Books) #2,754 in Children's Books on Girls' & Women's Issues #3,356 in Children's Mystery, Detective, & Spy | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 187 Reviews | ## Images ![Stolen Magic: A Fast-Paced Dragon Detective Mystery for Kids (Ages 8-12) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/714MMDufndL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Loved this Sequel to A Tale of Two Cities! *by R***L on May 25, 2015* Having been a fan of Levine since Ella Enchanted came out, I was really looking forward to Stolen Magic, the sequel to A Tale of Two Castles.
