    5.0 out of 5 stars Fantasy Revisited
    Reviewed in the United States on 31 January 2008
    This review is for the entire series. I first read the Circle of Light series about 20 years ago. I thoroughly enjoyed it then as I did now. Of course the second reading did not have the same impact as I was already familiar with the story line. The story was original and simple to read. No complex plots or sub stories going on. But complexity does not necessarily mean a better tale.

    Normally I do not give reviews, but I'm so tired of always reading `this is just another copy of Lord of the Rings'. It is not. It seems every story ever written is a copy of Lord of the Rings to some people. I've heard Star Wars is the Lord of the Rings in outer space. Some would say the chest is the same as the ring and the chest bearer is the same as the ring bearer. But most stories have some item of power that has to be carried, destroyed or used as a central theme. Remember the Black Cauldron? I guess that is a version of Lord of the Rings too. Maybe Tolkien invented the words `elf', `dwarf', `dragon' and `wizard' since any story with those terms tend to be compared to the Ring too.

    I have read the Lord of the Rings and the Hobbit and enjoyed them. I read them before I read the Circle of Light and never thought they were the same. I don't believe there were any intelligent animal characters in any of the Tolkien books. So read the Circle of Light as they are and enjoy them. Don't look for similarities to any other story. Let it stand on its own merits whether you like it or dislike it, not because it's not the Lord of the Rings.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Book series is for people 10 and up. I am 67!
    Reviewed in the United States on 20 September 2013
    I sorta came upon this series of books by accident and something in the description grabbed my interest. I had all of the books in the series except for this one, and was so happy when I found it on Amazon. I LOVED THE WHOLE SERIES! I became aware right away that it was targeted for a wide age-range of people, but I hadn't noticed until I got this final one that it was recommended for people ages 10 and up! I thought, "What? These books are for KIDS???!!!" I am 67 years old but not "going through my second childhood" YET! But I STILL enjoyed every single one of these books! And well, I do fit very nicely into the "and up" range, ya think?! Forget what age you are - this series is a fun read!

    Squaring The Circle was my favorite book as a child, and I found it even more fun to read again as an adult.
