Product Description
To give Nita a vacation from magic, Nita’s parents pack her off for a month-long stay with her eccentric aunt in Ireland. But Ireland is even more steeped in magical doings than the United States, and Nita soon finds herself and a host of Irish wizards battling creatures from a nightmare Ireland--a realm where humankind is the stuff of tales and storybooks, and where the legends and monsters of the country’s mythology are a deadly reality.

So predictable... I'd rather read a boring school textbook than this. =/ Sorry, Ms. Duane.

No Offence but why do we need the Blow-in

It's Ironic that Ronan asked this question. In truth this should have been his story, and He, not Nita, should have been the one to tell it.
As it is we get the view from the outside, with a narrator who isn't quite perseptive enough to give us the whole story. And if Nita's place in this story is somewhat periperal then the other young wizards from the previous books are even more so.
Kit is the proverbial 3rd wheel, and Dairine is used as nothing more then a convnient power source.
I loved the first two books inis series, was disappointed by the third and am sad to say that the story line hasn't recovered in the Fourth. Like its imediat predesor this book feels like the darkness has delibertly been toned down, and frequently omitted, preferring to report the fighting with passages about what Nita remembered rather than dropping us into the thick of it.
As a result I just couldn't find anything to get involved with in this story,

Si les gustan las aventuras de magia, jovenes con poder a los que no sólo les toque salvar la vida, sino tambien al mundo y al unvierso... este libro es para ustedes, es el regreso a la fantasía inocente que todos han deseado, donde los problemas adolecesentes son parte del día a día de estos magos... con un vocabulario sencillo... una aventura hechizante y unos personajes que te harán llorar, reir y disfrutar con las locuras que se les ocurren o les suceden... suerte... y bienvenidos al mundo de los magos.

I found the fourth book of this series a sad departure from what made the previous books great. It moves the overall story line further, but its a step i wish i could have skipped
