Wizards at War (Young Wizards #8) 
But mere defense won't be enough to combat the evil afoot. With their alien teammates, Nita, Kit, and Dairine must race to search worlds known and unknown for the secret weapon the Powers That Be have promised them--before the minions of the sinister Lone Power find it first. And then, for the first time in millenia, the wizards must go to war. . . .
Diane Duane needs to personally apologize to me for everything regarding Ponch as I feel personally attacked.

I have finally caught up with this series! I don't know if that's exciting or depressing. This book is much longer than the other books in the series and, accordingly, deals with a much more complicated and detailed plot than in the beginning of the series. It takes place immediately after book 7 and contains most of the same "extras".The interactions between the characters felt like I was watching something real - something unscripted. It captured my attention and didn't let go. Still a fast
So much stuff happened on this book, I don't know where to begin. I like how it basically continued where the last book left off. It flowed really well, and it kept the new exchange wizards in the story as well as bringing back some old acquaintances. It's cool to see how everything ties back together.The scale of things in this story is much more vast than any of the previous. In some ways, the bug planet reminded me of the first book.

I cried so much over this book, you don't even know. The author does the unforgivable -- she messes with the dog. But then all is put right at the end. Yes, this is a SPOILER, but one that I think should be mandatory in all works of fiction where dogs are endangered. The dog is all right in the end! Doesn't matter if civilization as we know has been destroyed, so long as the dog's okay.Anyway, this book is about all life in the universe coming to an end due to the ever increasing expansion of
As with all the Young Wizards books, this one has a few weak spots but is generally and genuinely a good read. It's definitely a series you should read from the beginning, there aren't really any standalone books and this one even less than the others, but I felt this book did a good job of balancing the weight of a series this long with the need to move forward in the story.

This series ranks among my absolute favourites in magic for kids. There is adventure a-plenty, lovely occasional moments of humour, terrific relationships, brilliant aliens, and stunning descriptions of the magic. I probably said this when I reviewed the previous book in the series (and/or the one before, etc.) but the magic is so intelligently written - beautifully thought through with both lyrical and scientific/ mathematical aspects. Such a pleasure to read.Diane Duane needs to personally apologize to me for everything regarding Ponch as I feel personally attacked.
