Written by Pseudonymous Bosch, this big-kid fiction book is very popular. It is the first of a series. I wanted to decide if I should buy it for my libraries. It is a mystery about a lost magician who has left a book behind. The two main characters embark on a mission to uncover the mystery of his death. (It reminds me a bit of Horten's Miraculous Mechanisms.). I found it a bit slower than I expected. I also tend to be annoyed when the narrator talks to the reader apart from the story, like "Stop here if you scare easily, " which this author did constantly. The storyline was interesting enough to encourage me to finish it, but it was not a favorite, nor will I read the rest of the series.
