I read all but the last 75 pages or so and I never really cared what happened to any of the characters, so I quit. I have liked other books by Paulo Coelho (e.g., The Alchemist) so I persisted, but something was missing. Set in relatively contemporary time, it seemed promising: a young woman is looking for a way to realize her gifts and find her soulmate; there are magi and witches; it's set in Ireland. Lots of my favorite elements, but just no spark. Ah well. I'm trying not to see my lack of enthusiasm as a character flaw...
