  Actually I felt like giving the book three stars when I got to the last two chapters. Don't get me wrong. I loved the story. It is well constructed, the characters are charming and they crawl under your skin. I grew fond of Isidore, I fancied Gabriel and I was truly charmed by the sisters. The story is magic, because it's about magic, but it's modern as well because it involves computers, hackers and data flow. It's present meets myth. It's soul meets knowledge. It's fantasy meets science. Anyway... a page turner it is! You long to finish the book, to know how it ends. Then you come to the last two chapters and everything looks so "obvious". It's quite disappointing. You read as though you would already know the end. BUT then bam! There it is! What? Of course I'm not telling you! Do you think I'm a spoilsport of a reader? I only tell you that it earned my four stars and maybe you'll agree with me after reading it!

If only the ending which was a touch anticlimactic for my liking would be as enthralling as the beginning...
