but petered out on the second one. I don't think the problem was the book--I'd just been reading soooo much fantasy in the last year that my mystery/thriller genes were kicking in saying "Feed me, Seymour".

I really like his trying to balance the magic with physics. Makes the powers much more skills to be mastered than something that "just is."
