A Wizard Alone starts off kind of confusing. Honestly, I'm so used to Kit and Nita being on the same page that I really had a hard time getting my head around them working independently. However, I did figure out that the clown and the knight were the boy Kit was investigating before Nita came right out and said it. I also LOVED the psychiatrist character, Mr. Millman, and his relationship with Nita. I can't wait to get the seventh and eighth books and devour them too!
