Still catching up

Need to review Magic Lessons, the second book in the Magic or Madness trilogy, but I don't know what to say.  It went by so quickly.

It lacked the suspense of the first, and the surprise.  The ending was clearly a pause on the road to a conclusion...it guaranteed you'd have to read the third.  I'd almost suggest--if this didn't have to be a teen book and therefore limited to 300 pages, the second and third books should have been combined.

So--got to stop now.  The TV's back on and it's too loud to think in here.  I'll get some supper and read.  The thrilling finale--stay tuned.
