So I'm still not entirely clear on what happened... but neither were the characters, so I'm assuming it's okay that I feel like I didn't catch everything.

This was a fun little journey, but I think I've realized that I really just prefer when my characters understand the world around them. I'm not a fan of reading the narration of someone who's confused all the time.

i love these books (third in the Secret Country series), but i always feel like i miss something while reading them (this is probably my third read). I feel i've missed a subtle plot point or some nuance that explained a bunch of things, which is why i give it 4 stars instead of 5. but they're great, original, fun fantasies.
