Two and a Half Torches (Out of Five) I've always been a fan of Terry Brooks' Magic Kingdom novels. I'm of the opinion that Brooks is at his best when he doesn't take himself too seriously -- and in these books, he found the perfect balance between humor and his trademark earnestness. But A Princess of Landover, the latest book in the series that began in 1986 with Magic Kingdom For Sale -- Sold!, just doesn't measure up to the four predecessors (of five total) that I've read. Willful and impulsive, Mistaya, the now-15 year-old daughter of Ben Holiday and the half-dryad Willow, doesn't fit in at the "real"-world boarding school where she's been sent by her parents to expand her horizons.
