Wizards at War has far, far too large a cast, and too many of them are cameos, and too many of them are brought on to be Tearfully Killed. And with Ponch, yes, total agreement. Also, how much bigger can the catastrophes get? Saving the world, sure. Saving the universe, I do not buy. What next? Where does one go from that? Am hoping she recovers her sense of scale, but.
I am vaguely annoyed with the series in general after hearing Diane Duane say at Noreascon that she has no intention of stopping it until the market runs out, but I did love A Wizard Alone dearly, so what the hell.
I haven't been able to read So You Want to be a Wizard since September 11th. I think about it, and then it is bad-- "If something should happen to all that life, how terrible!"-- and then I can't reread it. But it is one of the great NYC books.
