Despite the fact that Blake's writing style lends itself to an occassionally frustrating slowness, the story was definitely intriguing enough to keep me reading. The magic and its parameters are fascinating to read about, and the way the cast of characters is set up is endlessly interesting; to watch them interact is sometimes like watching a train derailing, but that's definitely part of the fun. I also have a few opinions on who should end up with who, but I wouldn't be mad about any outcome — especially considering how much the practice of shipping depends on what comes next.
