Melody Murray's Books

I'm a bit torn on rating this book. The ending redeems a great deal of the tedium that comprises the first half. I didn't find anyone to like, at least not until I got past the halfway point, when Gen stopped being quite so annoying and the Magus was at least a bit human. There were several points where, had I put the book down, I wouldn't have picked it up again. I'm also certain that had I read this as a kid, I'd have loved it. I am not, as yet, an enthusiastic convert to this series, but I am going on to the second book.
