Chasing magic is now one of my favorite books in the series. It had a really hopeful feel and there were some really beautiful scenes. 
 I don't always love the Downside Ghosts books but I always seem to read the next one when it comes out because of their uniqueness, and the hope that Chess will find some inner peace. I'm glad I didn't stop when some of the books made me cringe and made me consider a move to something with a less self-destructive protagonist.
