This is another of those times that McKinley's characters seem to shy away
from any magic, lest they lose some of their soul. Reading her books for
such a long time has given me a rather ambivalent outlook on magic, as if
it is just better that it is not around since it always seems to come at a
price. Although I would like to see something magical sometime, (that
wouldn't appear on Magic's Secrets Revealed!! specials) I don't know if I
wouldn't be more leery than I would have been as a kid before I discovered
her books.
Any thoughts, anyone?
