I can't tell if it's just the "ooo! shiny new toy!" wearing off or not. I don't like Wizard's Holiday nearly so much on reread. The things that annoyed me stand out more, the thrills less since I know they're coming - in both cases. Of course, I'm just miss grumpy and a bit tired tonight anyway because all the time and darkness seems a little wrong after the change on Sunday morning. So maybe that is it, more than the book.
