DNF at about one third of the way.

The idea of this is great. Once you get extremely obsessed with something, anything at all, you can basically bend the rules of the universe and do magic in connection with your topic. But it comes with a price; something bad will come to you to smooth out your karma.

The rest of it? Annoyingly quirky characters written in a prose that tries hard to be witty and ends up being kind of forced and nonsensical to me. It made me skim, jump through stuff, somehow it just didn't allow me to properly concentrate on the story. When characters talk about magic it's all just cool-sounding, vague sentences that don't work to me.

I'm not trying to be mean about it, nothing against the author or anything, but I don't feel this is for me.
