Control Point (Shadow Ops, #1)

Hmm well, this book was enjoyable, the premise, that magic has appeared in modern-day and the military has to regulate it, was very intriguing to me. It was a fast read for me, it reminded me of a Vin Diesel movie (not a bad thing!) in that I pretty much knew what was gonna happen (shades of Avatar and other sc-fi movies everywhere) but that's fine, it was a good vacation read. I wasn't blown away by the characters, but I liked the magic system a LOT so I'll pick up the next book.

The second book improves on the first in almost every way - better prose, Bookbinder's a more interesting character (in my opinion), and there's a bit more world-building.

Ok I just bought #2, looking forward to it!
Gotta agree with Stefan. The main protag of book 2 is definitely the more.../more/... character. The Source gets fleshed out a bit more, as does the magic system. Still a fast read, still lots of action, but a little more twisty, plot-wise. Think you'll enjoy. :)
Ok, you convinced me ... I will go buy them both!
Vin Diesel movie, you say? I'm sold.
