I didn't like it very much. Maybe a 4/10. The characters from the original felt weird (which of course can be accounted for by saying "well, 19 years have passed," but it wasn't the same. Also, I hated the departure from what felt like established lore:
Also, even the new characters, the kids, seemed to be less people and more changeable plot devices for whatever needed to happen next. The villain just made me yawn. By the time you see the plot and plan, the magic of the setting has been shattered and it's apparent to the reader that good beats evil, yada yada yada.
