4.0

I greatly enjoyed this book, it was a delight. Especially Arriman, he is such a dandy diva. I love him, he's so funny with his thinking. Stuff like:

If Bloodwort wins, he plans to kill himself? What a drama wizard. However, that wasn't the darkest part of this story. The rats eating themselves? Pretty intense XD

I loved Rover the Worm, what a darling invertebrate. I quite enjoyed the ending,

Though I had guessed Terence was accidentally helping with Belladonna's magic, him being the prophesized wizard was a surprise!

The cover is beautiful, I was always excited to pick it up. 

The only thing I would have loved to see more was Belladonna and Arriman together. I know it's a kids' book, but it would have been nice to see them actually have a conversation. There was a perfect time too when

Terence was missing.

They could have had a lovely conversation, though it was cute how sappy Arriman was.

I did like how Madame Olympia was set up with Sir Simon, I thought that was a fun, murderous pair!

Overall, a lovely read and made my day when I finished it! :)
