I was sooo looking forward to reading the first one, because boarding school + magic sounded awesome. But it just didn't do it for me at the time. (Diane Duane's Young Wizard books and Susan Cooper's Dark is Rising cycle mine similar territories so much better.) But seeing them fresh through Ros' eyes, when she doesn't have other similar narrative to filter them through, that's making it work for me completely.
Fortunately, in Canada we always get the British versions! Benefit of being part of the Commonwealth. ;-)
