For a story that was written 23 years ago, The Third Magic would still appeal to young readers today. Katz's style kept me captivated throughout. A twist on the tale of King Arthur, the story is adventurous, mysterious, and magical. This tale could have been a lot darker and the plot more involved, however, it is a story written for younger readers and therefore appears to only scratch the surface when dealing with the conflict between the Circle and the Line and their respective magics.
