I also felt like giving up early but persevered, hoping that either it would get better or I would have a cataclysmic experience where, suddenly, all things to do with magic, wizards, seers, witches suddenly became clear.

Sadly, that moment of everything clicking into place never happened and, to this day, I couldn't write a synopsis of the book other than "some forms of magic are more powerful than others and don't mess with anybody who is either dead, 1,000 years old or claims to be a magician but doesn't wear a pointy hat or doesn't come from Ankh-Morpork".

I might return to the second book when my subscription to the Magic Circle comes through!
