Sufficiently Advanced Magic

Well that was a slog. If you want a detailed magic system which still does not make sense then you have come to the right place. I guess its quite necessary for Andrew to have these many action sequences as otherwise there is no way someone would finish the book. I mean I kept reading to the end hoping to make sense of it. But this hooked me enough for me to venture into Book 2 so that in itself deserves high praise. I thought the Six Secret swords was much better and that really set some different expectations for me.
