As good as the first and a great set up for the third. Our hero continues to impress me. She’s exactly the person I wish to be myself - full of courage, compassion, and great instincts, making friends everywhere she goes despite herself, and excellent at setting boundaries and living and loving on her terms. The only way Wendell deserves her is by being a king, because what else can he really offer her to match her own awesomeness?

This book had me wanting a sequel before it even finished!!! (I’m glad there is one, and honestly I can’t wait for it). 
I can’t explain the way I so easily devoured this book (as well as the previous one). 
The way Ms. Fawcett writes is just stunning to me. I could so vividly picture every setting, every caress, every character as their mouth bloomed into smile. I could feel the change in cadence and authorship in the chapter Wendell wrote. 
This book feels like something I could and would read again someday and still find the same delight within the pages. 
I hope my daughter desires to pick it up some day, and we can relive the journey together.

Super charming as was the first one. I liked the first one a little more but this was exactly what I had hoped: a fun faerie tale with lovable characters and new magical pieces around every corner! Excited for book 3!
