The Answer Is Magnets

Before bed, I was reading the third book in V. E. Schwab’s Shades of Magic trilogy. I had a hard time putting it down as our two heroes were in a very tight spot, battling a killer magician creature that could dissipate itself. How were they going to get out of this mess? And, maybe more to the point, how was the writer going to get them out? It took me a while to get to sleep as I was turning over the problem but eventually I began to dream and I woke myself up multiple times in the night, trying to will myself to remember the following sentence: The Answer Is Magnets. I’d discovered that particles of this magician creature could be drawn out of things like bowls of soup, with magnets. This creature was metallic in some way, I guess. I loved the elegance of a simple scientific kind of “magic” being the solution to this giant thorny problem. To read more of The Answer Is Magnets, visit the Songs for the Struggling Artist blog.
