Reading
Finished "The Magicians of Caprona" early morning (midnight?) today. To answer my own question few posts ago, last time I read this was in August 2010. Just short a month to 12 years.
Again, similar to "Witch Week", I had fun rereading this. Really. I'm even surprised by myself. I used to feel that the book was too long but today I stand corrected (It's actually under 300 pages!). The beginning still felt long to me but since I already know the main spoilers, it wasn't much trouble. Still think that it has too many characters but I figured that you just have to remember the main ones and their direct family (I guess). Doesn't matter if I don't remember the names of their uncles, aunties and cousins etc, you won't get lost in the names. Just focus on the story.
I can even imagine this being adapted into movie (a long one, hopefully lol) or TV series (best). Maybe even a play or musical, since it involves singing.
...oh gosh, I never thought I'll say this but... I love this book. Thinking about it brings joy. Of course, it's not an absolute favourite but I guess I don't mind doing a regular reread of it in the future...?
Next to read from the Chrestomanci series: "Conrad's Fate" and "Mixed Magics". Yes, two of them... together XD. I don't know why but it felt lonely when I read "Mixed Magics" in the past so I'm going to pair it with a longer story. "The Pinhoe Egg" will be last.
