The author's prose style occasionally seems to slip back to an earlier time. In one fierce scuffle "Aidan's knee searched for the man's unmentionables." And not long after we have, "'You know.' Alice squoze his hand tighter."

It's not often that I struggle to finish a book, but this is testing me to my limits. It may be a while before I make it to the end - and I can't foresee many smiles along the way.

After a reasonable start - though hardly original - it is turning into a Harry Potter kids learning to be magical acolytes novel. I hope it changes direction soon.
