Editor's Notes and Comments:

Product Description:
Now that one of the Three Who Rule has escaped, the Diadem is in serious danger. Nantor, Pixel's ancient, evil self, has taken over the young magic user's body and is threatening to, once again, rule the worlds. Poor Pixel is alive in a small cell of his mind, but Nantor's strong spirit will soon engulf him. It's up to Score and Helaine to stop the powerful Nantor, but how? Score has been banished to a dangerous land of killer plants. And Helaine is trapped on Calomir by the Overmind who has implanted a microchip in her head. Even Jenna has been separated from the other young magicians. Are Pixel, Helaine, and Score doomed to become the heartless, evil rulers of an enslaved Diadem?

Rated by buyers 5 out of 5 stars - Is it Really the End?
This story picks up where Book Of Reality (Diadem Worlds of Magic) left off. Pixel's mind is trapped in the recesses of his brain; taken over by Nantor, one of the former Three Who Rule. In trying to help Pixel Score finds himself in danger from two people they trust. So Helaine and Jenna must find ways to help their friends and the whole Diadem. This book is suppose to be the last of series, but there are still some unanswered questions. And there is a surprising revelation on the very last page. Hopefully, we haven't seen the last of the Diadem series.



Rated by buyers 3 out of 5 stars - Slow Start, Better Ending
Book Ten of Diadem Worlds of Magic got off to a slow and rocky start. Since this was the very first time I had read a book from this series, I was at a bit of a loss as to who the good guys and who the bad guys were. I guess the proceeding book left off at a cliffhanger or something, but I'd have to say honestly, if I hadn't been reviewing this volume, I would have stopped at chapter one. Even the prologue did little to bring me up-to-date on the main characters.

I stuck with it though and by chapter four or five, the action started to pick up. Fans of this series will probably be very happy with the continuation of the storyline, but newcomers most likely will give up in frustration as personalities trade places in the past and present without warning.

In this installment, our heroes are fighting for their lives, against an evil machine-mind and their Arch Enemy, Nantor, who has escaped his prison from a jewel on the Diadem and taken over the body of Pixel. The other heroes are left to defeat the evil machine mind, capture Nantor and restore him into the jewel before the shredding of Magic destroys the universe.

Once the reader gets past the very first few chapters, things start picking up in pace and interest. Fans of The Diadem Worlds of Magic series won't be disappointed, but if you are new to them, get the previous books very first or you'll be lost as to who is who.
