Review:
The premise of magic being real and then destroyed is pretty awesome. There are some fun plays with ideas on how time travel has effected the current time. The structure of the book (particularly as an audio book) using emails and other text messages to talk back and forth is mind numbingly boring to hear. The tool of using different chapters as collections of different people's recollections is also useful, but it feels like a crutch towards the end of the book. I did not enjoy this one.
