Veronica (Australia) (2009/10/23):
'Another excellent sequel is Cliff McNish's THE SCENT OF MAGIC (Orion, c. 4hrs, 9.99), read by Sian Phillips and again with spine-chilling music. This time the witches advance on earth to take their revenge on the children who killed their queen in DOOMSPELL.' (Christina Hardyment )'An operatic performance by Sian Phillips brings out the many crescendos on a global battle of good and evil. More epic in scale, and more malevolent in mood, than Harry Potter. Shorter sentences, too, which suits impatient over-eights.' (Carole Mansur DAILY TELEGRAPH ) 'Rachel and her brother Eric's powers to unmake magic are tested to the full in this thrilling sequel to DOOMSPELL. Sian Phillips' reading is good, if lacking in characterisation, and the whole thing is an exciting listed for children over eight. Great for in-car entertainment.' (THE AUDIOBOOKSELLER )
