It's not magic with a wand. Bells? of all the things, why bells? reading it made me think of yule tide celebrations and sweaty bell-ringers. an interesting story, though; I didn't fall into it as easily as Earthsea, Harry Potter, Pullman or Trudie Canavan or any of their ken. still, 2 more to go and at least the writing is good; they're on my 2 read shelf. Or were, at time of writing. I've probably spent a weekend in bed in the interim changing that fact or something...
