God, I will try my best, I haven't read them for such a long time!
I liked this first book though, yes it's abit short, but then I guess a lot of first books are, it introduced the characters well and I found myself falling in love with them all straight away.
Whether it's the fact this book was the most childlike and simple, but I found it very easy to relate to, even though I hadn't read any magic books before, and could imagine the scenery and settings very clearly in my head.
It sucked me in straight away, so I must have loved it x
