I think perhaps because I read a fair bit of fantasy I'm primed to accept odd goings on without too much of a mental leap, even when they are as odd as in this book. I'm glad to know I'm not the only one who found it a slog though. Strangely enough, the magic didn’t bother me half so much as the lack of anything happening; in fact, I actually rather enjoyed it.
