“I absolutely loved Deep Wizardry. If I had to choose, I’d even say that I liked it better than So You Want to Be a Wizard. Duane’s style in this book is fantastic. You can definitely see a difference between DW and its predecessor, but in a good way, like she really came into her own during the interim. I absolutely adored her mixture of simplicity in places where it’s not only necessary, but achingly perfect, and lyrical elegance in others, which come together to weave a story that’s both beautiful and heartbreaking.
And Nita and Kit really came into their own, too, which is another highlight of the book. The action was not quite as fast-paced in this as in SYWBW, allowing Duane the opportunity to really flesh out Nita’s and Kit’s personalities--their strengths, their flaws, their idiosyncrasies and charming little nuances--without disrupting the flow of the story. And I loved that, because this is a very powerful and touching story, on several levels, but I don’t think that it would have hit me so fully and moved me the way it did if I hadn’t felt so close to the characters. Both Nita and Kit (who didn’t get a lot of character development in the first book) really grew on me throughout DW; I cared about them, in a way that I don’t typically care about a lot of characters, and my heart literally ached for them toward the end of the book. I felt Nita’s despair, her turmoil, she and Kit’s courage, their triumph, their joy, everything, and that made the book just that much more beautiful to me.
My only complaint about this book is that I found Nita's parents, who are generally enjoyable in the rest of the series, to be wildly grating. Her mother's rampant hypochondria and her father's enabling and frustratingly irrational behavior drove me fucking nuts. I don't know if Duane felt like she had to write them that way as, like, a plot device or whatever, but I didn't care for it at all.
Overall, however, Deep Wizardry is absolutely beautiful. A compelling story with great action, fantastic imagery, interesting characters (especially Ed! I never thought I could adore a shark so much) and a message that will stay with you long after you’ve finished reading.”
