Games Wizards Play

De: Diane Duane

Narrado por: Christina Moore

Every 11 years, Earth's senior wizards hold the Invitational: an intensive three-week event where the planet's newest, sharpest young wizards show off their best and hottest spells. Wizardly partners Kit Rodriguez and Nita Callahan, and Nita's sister, former wizard-prodigy Dairine Callahan, are drafted in to mentor two brilliant and difficult cases: for Nita and Kit, there's Penn Shao-Feng, a would-be sun technician with a dangerous new take on managing solar weather; and for Dairine, there's shy young Mehrnaz Farrahi, an Iranian wizard-girl trying to specialize in defusing earthquakes while struggling with a toxic extended wizardly family that demands she perform to their expectations.

Together they're plunged into a whirlwind of cutthroat competition and ruthless judging. Penn's egotistical attitude toward his mentors complicates matters as the pair tries to negotiate their burgeoning romance. Meanwhile, Dairine struggles to stabilize her hero-worshipping, insecure protégée against the interference of powerful relatives using her to further their own tangled agendas. When both candidates make it through to the finals stage on the dark side of the Moon, they and their mentors are flung into a final conflict that could change the solar system for the better or damage Earth beyond even wizardly repair.

She just gets better and better

Diane Duane has been one of my very favorite authors since I read her very first book. I am grateful for her continued and increasing scale and telling me stories about her wizards. Read them all! Fall in love with these wonderful characters! These stories remind me of my hopeful self which is something that I need these days. #DeepFriendship #HiddenTalents #Suspenseful #Tagsgiving #Sweepstakes

nice just had one issue

I really enjoyed it was able to pick it up since it's been awhile since I read the other books.

the only issue I had was times when they were Whispering I had to turn up the volume. I found it felt like constantly having to fiddle with the volume button at points oh man I love the voice acting and storybooth definitely worth picking you up if you read any of her books

Beautiful end to a beautiful series.

I ended this series with a really happy sigh. I've been listening to it since middle school, and I was so pleased that it ended as strongly as it began. I also wanted to hug all the characters.
Bravo.

absolutely fantastic!

in the almost 20 years that I have been following this series Diane has never let me down. I absolutely adore every character and to see the changes (i have not read the new Millennium edition so some things are a bit different for me) has been interesting. still, eagerly awaiting the next chapter of Kit and Nitas story.

Loved it!

I'm a huge fan of this series, and so happy Christina Moore was the reader after the long wait. Well worth waiting for! 🙌👍👌
