Too bad; I enjoyed the first book and parts of the second, but never bothered with the third.

Oh, then you missed the *best* parts, then. The third was one long screed that, at the end, completely lost its nerve and reverted to the worst conventions of "young adult" fiction.

So I've heard. I liked the first one purely for the concept of daemons (does it ever say what creature Pan winds up as?) but wasn't terribly impressed with the rest. I ended up rereading Diane Duane's original Young Wizards trilogy to get the bad taste out of my head. :-) (I don't think she's Christian, but the end of Deep Wizardry makes me bawl nonetheless.)
