Very interesting book. Proof that you can tell a romantic story without making it cheesy.
The topic of magic is way more explored than in the other two, but reads and plays well with the story.
I would rate them in reverse, this being the best of the three and the first published being the worst. How things interconnect With each other almost make the existence of the first one to make sense.

This is what the first book should have been; and the first shouldn't even be used as fuel for a fire.

The book will entertain you if you are looking for a light read; bud definitely do not expect a mind blowing experience. Done think Clive is offering anything extraordinary and at times reads repetitive, slow and just filled with "big words" to make the story seem more interesting and involved than what it is.
