When I read Hanna’s writing I inevitably picture a world painted in pastels. Her low key tone combined with the storybook quality of the plot just seems to invoke that in me. Combine this with the well written quality of the novel and the magical aura that surrounds it and you have a definite feel good fantasy tale for those of any age. The characters were quite well developed. Hanna does rely somewhat on what we’ve come to know in previous instalments of the series but her characters continue to grow to the point that you could read this novella on its own. As a whole, this was a quick, light fantasy read. It was enjoyable, yet missing a little of the spark we’ve seen in previous novels from this series. Please note that I received a complimentary copy of this work in exchange for an honest review.

Way too short I'd have preferred each book to be 1000pages of course, but somehow that didn't matter this time. Beautifully written, this book and series leave me feeling calm happy joyful at peace, and feeling accepted and loved. These books harken back to 175 years ago when books still mattered, when books contained so much more the sex and violence and death, when they were about love joy hope life learning tolerance and truth and so much more, they remind me of the joys of discovering old worn loved green hard-bound books in the part of the library no one used anymore when I was 5-10 and mom felt I knew how to respect their delicate pages enough..I can't remember the titles anymore, but I remember the experience. Books should bring joy to people and make them happy, and these do that so very well.
