This was incredibly boring
There’s slow burn and then there’s GLACIAL - brrr the romance is cold in here
The only thing I liked about this book was Merrit, the house keeper and cook

Unique Fun
So much to recommend
I wanted a light quick read with magic and got so much more.
Just fun.
Complicated and real enough to keep me interested.
Thank you. Charlie.

The plot in this book was really on point for me. Easily the best of the three in my opinion. I didn’t get that disjointed feeling like I experienced in the first book or the rigidity of the second. But overall I liked how this plot played out and the events that occurred through it. It’s a good story.… (meer)

Ceony sulks a little but I was pleasantly surprised at how non-mopey she generally was...it seems like characters like this are usually 100% pro-pity parties. But even though she wishes it hadn't been so, she dedicates herself to learning the craft of paper magic. She's settling into a mostly comfortable groove when suddenly she and Emery, on who she is starting to develop a bit of a crush, are brutally attacked by an evil magician, and although she's been forbidden to, she (of course) adventures to save him. She has to make a journey, both literal and metaphorical, through his heart in order to do so.
The journey through the heart is where most of the character development comes from. It's in a way a kind of blunt plot device...instead of having to learn things about her Emery's inner life organically, she's treated to highlight and lowlight reels of the most sensitive, defining moments of his life. But I think it works, mostly. It not only rounds out his character, but it makes her growing crush seem less like the oh-so-tiresome InstaLove trope. And the system of magic that Holmberg creates for her world is fresh and interesting. But at the end of the day, this isn't high literature. It's fluffy, and perfect for the way I read it: on an airplane. Or at a beach. It's pleasant and light and thinking about it too hard isn't recommended. There are sequels, but I'm not nearly invested enough to seek them out. If you need something to help pass the time, though, you could do a lot worse.… (meer)
