Short rant ahead. I am showing my age here, but it‘s driving me crazy!! The author uses the first name of every character except for a new character we are introduced to in this book. His name is Professor Ferris Rose. The author has chosen to call this character Rose for the entirety of the story. Not Ferris or Professor Rose, just Rose. I‘m 65% into the book and I still have to stop and remind my self that this is a male character. Am I alone?
pickVery few books get a five star from me and this one does. It is as good as the first book in the series and I‘m truely looking forward to the next instalment next year.
Tomorrow I‘m looking forward to starting this. I really fell in love with the first book and am hoping this one will be just as good.
pickI largely enjoyed this book but not as much as the first one. Emily and Wendel's relationship remained sweet and entertaining. But I found most of the secondary characters felt anemic, including Emily's niece who I don't feel needed to be there at all, as well as the underwhelming big bad. Plot has a few ex machina moments where Wendel just does magic.
Still an easy entertaining read that has it's moments. A four star rather than a five.
pickThis was absolutely delightful and just as much fun as the first one. Towards the end though it did seem to follow the outline of the first one a bit too close though.
I‘ve got a cat in the window next to me and a dog on my lap so it‘s time to go deeper into my book!
pickAnother delightful adventure with Emily as she aids Wendell in the search for the door he needs to a fairy realm. New characters with some old friends along for the ride as well, new dangers, but the same Emily who just wants to be left alone to do her work. I really enjoy this series.
