Enchanting, as always! I so hope this isn't a trilogy, because then that will mean the end of this series, and I want to know what's going to happen next! Darling is charming and clever, and she does her best (sometimes messing up a bit along the way) to save the castle along with Gillian and Roger and now, adorable Dulcie. There are a lot of people to remember, but they all stand out well enough that I can sorta keep track of them all. This world lives and breathes with magic, and I'm so pleased to be a part of it. Loved it, hope there's more to come! <3

This was a fun book to read! I predicted the plot pretty easily but still enjoyed it. I found I liked her friends better in this book. The ending was good! And I like how Darling is discovering more about her family and her past, her possible future, and the magic in the castle.

Cute and fun as always! Thanks to a long break between reading the previous book and picking up this one (the library system was just not stocking this book for some reason!), I forgot quite a few dangling plot threads, which made it hard to enjoy this book as much as I would have. Because unlike the first and second books in the series, this book doesn't have a self-contained plot. It's entirely a bridge between the last book and the next one. Sure, Dimple makes progress on a mystery from the last book, and there's a whole lot of panicking over what the starlight slippers might do, but in the end, there were a whole lot of words for nothing much important. The book suffered because of that. But I also enjoyed the large and colorful cast of characters, and how this series manages to keep up with such a large secondary cast and keep adding new ones without getting confusing.
