The Books of Magic / Neil Gaiman / 196 pages / May Challenge

"Magic grants no freedom...Everything it buys must be paid for."  So says a very young Merlin to Tim Hunter who says "It doesn't seem like there's any real magic anymore, not like it was.  Where did all the magic go?"  A common theme in Neil Gaiman's work is the anti-relationship between science and magic.  This theme is certainly paramount in this book.  Unfortunately, this graphic novel features very tiny print - obviously not meant for older eyes, so it was a bit of a struggle to decipher.  It was certainly a good story!  I guess I just care too much for graphic novels.
