3.0 out of 5 stars A Little Better Than The Rest, January 26, 2004

This review is from: The Books of Magic #4: Consequences (Books of Magic (EOS)) (Paperback)

So far this series has seen some stripped-down versions of comic books and a magician (Timothy Hunter) who really doesn't do anything. Well, in this book, Timothy plays a more active role and actually works some magic.

Timothy has two main issues to work out. The first is how to tell Molly about his magic as he has no other secrets from her. The second is to deal with the fact that all of his old beliefs are coming true.

Add one character from the previous book who thinks Tim has done him wrong and the plot is set. No real tension, even when an important character has his soul stolen.

If you like the previous books, you will like this one, but if you prefer the comics than this one is closer than the rest.
