The Scot, the Witch and the Wardrobe by Annette Blair
3.0
This has always been my least favorite of the trilogy, and this reading of it is no different. Most of my problems with it lie in the heroine, Vickie.
Though she shares one of my nicknames, she is the worst example of the meaning of the name! She is victorious only when she succeeds in driving away a good man, and I don't think that's anything to be proud of! She constantly denies her witchy powers, can't accept her beauty, and doubts the powers of her sisters and friends. She comes across as very weak and wishy-washy, ending up as a character to dislike.
What saves this book is Rory and Vickie's sisters. Rory is an extremely likable hero, despite the fact that the author wrote him in such a manner as to make him the butt of a lot of jokes. Likewise, the sisterly trio are humorous in their own right and you can tell that they will have their own series at some point.
All in all, a disappointing end to the trilogy, but still a decent read.
