This is the third in a series of fantasy novels for children. I hadn't read the preceding books but found it didn't matter. Basically a Lord of the Rings / The Worst Witch lite - I found it really enjoyable with interesting characters and some great moments that I think would resonate with younger readers. I appreciated certain things that went deeper than surface fantasy fluff: the fact that the main character really liked maths and that the parents were presented as flawed as well as a companion being disagreeable and downright mean. Overall a fun story and I'll buy the first one for my nieces. I think they'd love Millie the cooking witch!

Here's the thing:
This book is labeled as young adult and it is not. This is a children's book which is fine but I was super bored the whole time. I did go into this book not knowing it was a series so I didn't start with the first one. It didn't seem to make a difference but I may need to go try the first two books. Overall while I'm thankful for what this book was trying to do, the amount of nothingness that happens is overwhelming. The characters were a little bland but because this is a children's book maybe I'm a little biased. I say check this out if you are looking for a book series for a child but go ahead and skip over it if you read more young adult.

I requested and received an e-ARC of this book from NetGalley and Dreaming Robot Press in exchange for an honest review.
I have not read the other books in this series but that did not stop me from really enjoying this book. I love the band of unlikely friends working together to save their new friend. I loved the math used throughout the book by Sagara and her frustration that no one else sees all of the math found throughout nature. This book made me want to go back and read the first two books in the series.

This book was provided to me by Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
OMG I was so bored. I couldn't continue. I didn't get very far so maybe the book suddenly picks up, but I was not going to waste my time on it.
Writing style: This was not my style. I don't know what annoyed me, but I did not like it at all.
Characters: I disliked the main character from page 1. She's the perfect little specimen, but of course she's also a little weird and will act out as she gets older... Yeah, we've heard that story a thousand times.
Story: This was really a story that I've read again and again, but now with elves and strange talking trees. I also disliked that we were thrown into a world and nothing is explained. You're just expected to know everything... I know that it's book 3, but I did a little research and it seemed that the books were all standalones, maybe I read that wrong

I really wanted to like this book. It has everything I look for in a book with elves. But after about half way in I loss interest in the book. I did push through a bit farther but ended up DNF'ING the book
