I'm removing half a Bookbag star for accessibility. There were times when, even reading as an adult, I found parts of ''The Midas Box'' difficult to follow and the book is dense enough to prove daunting for some less confident readers. However, this is not a real criticism; I'm all for books that challenge and books that pay even greater dividends on second and subsequent readings and ''The Midas Box'' does both. They're touting it as a successor to Harry Potter, but I think it surpasses Potter on just about every level there is. Highly recommended.
My thanks to the nice people at Faber for sending the book. We also have a review of [[Mariah Mundi and the Ship of Fools by G P Taylor]].
If they enjoy Mariah Mundi, they might also like Jon Berkeley's [[The Palace of Laughter]] or D M Cornish's [[Monster Blood Tattoo]].
