The main character Thomas Ward is both credible and very human! The storytelling flows well, and you are quickly caught up in the story. The County comes alive before you, as you partake in Thomas' journey towards becoming a Spook - the medival equivalent of Ghostbusters :-) Only this is far more gloomy and sinister.
There's also humor and suspense in these books, and even as an adult i read them both in 4 days.
The series has a very interesting take on good and evil - you choose your own path, and if you try hard enough, maybe you can direct the people you care about away from the dark side.
There are also some interesting points on dealing with fear, narrowminded people and well.. boggarts, whitches and ghosts!
