The Magician's Assistant by Ann Patchett
3.0

This is a perfectly readable book with a good set-up, some interesting details and sympathetic characters, but it didn't really seem to go anywhere. The ending was abrupt. It felt arbitrary, but even as I was going along, even as I kept reading, sometimes late Ito the night because the journey was so smooth, I never really had any idea of where it was going.
