Details: DW (c) 1985 Diane Duane; Pub Harcourt Magic Carpet books 1996; ISBN 0-15-216257-7 / HW (c) 1990 Diane Duane; Pub Harcourt Magic Carpet books 1997; ISBN 0-15-216244-5
Verdict: Deep Wizardry is effective both as a story and, surprisingly, as a Christian allegory. High Wizardry builds on this successfully.
Reasons for reading it: I enjoyed So you want to be a wizard, and was eager to read the sequels. (Actually I read Deep wizardry back in April, but I'm getting behind on book reviews so I shall cover the two together.)
How it came into my hands:![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
cartesiandaemon lent me both books. With a nice beau to lend me whole series at once, I could get into this reading series thing; not having the frustration of taking ages to find the next book makes a big difference to my enjoyment!
