There are elements of this that I truly enjoyed, and the tension and timing in some of the climatic moments were quite well done. However. Pacing throughout was quite uneven, and sections dragged considerably with no advancement of plot or character. The author also seemed to make occasional odd and archaic word choices (surcease? just cease would be adequate) which were more in the vein of "look at my big vocabulary" than in choosing the best word. Obviously, the pitch here was something along the lines of, "What if Hogwarts was college, only more esoteric, and then they discover Narnia is real? And there will be sex and booze and drugs and aimless 20-somethings making bad choices for no real reason except that adulting when you're super-powered is hard?" I'm not sure I'll read the rest of the trilogy - or even give the tv show a try.
