Okay... This was really fun!! It's an easy, quick read, full of good humor and was the perfect fit for my daily reading on the morning bus. However, the mother-daughter relationship here was a bit..weird (??) and a bit boring too, but apart from that everything was great!

This one was better than the first one but as a whole is still found the main characters rather unlikable. Particularly Athena. Rosemary is starting to grow on me.
The story was interesting and held my attention but I just really hope Athena gets better in the next one.

Cute little series. Easy fast read.

I really like this series, although it's pretty cheesy.
Reminds me of a mashup of Gilmore Girls and Charmed.
One thing I don't quite understand is this relationship between Rosemary and Berk. I've only known of them to interact in passing, yet they have this deep affection for each other. I must have missed something.
Also, the spelling errors are terrible. Author needs a new editor.

I enjoyed the last two books. It's easy reading. I do get slightly annoyed with the characters at times. One second being too piglet-ish to even make a decision and the next rabbit-ing over to tell people what to do and demand she is answered to....I will read the next book. Because as I said I have enjoyed the books. I'm looking forward to some character development! Or just some more magical adventure.

Hitting the finish line for my goal this year with this one. We continue to visit Rosemary and Athena and their learning and settling in to the family home. I like that they wrap some of the loose plot points from book one up in neat little bows, while also giving us new tidbits to continue the story. The magic is more overt in this one, with more use of it present in this book. I like the side character teens that Athena befriends, and appreciate the lack of romance. Rosemary just seems not to have time for men at this point in her life. 

I didn't like the big reveal. It was a bit choppy, and went a bit quickly for me. It felt a tad rushed.
