The Lychford books come to what appears to be a conclusion in this short novella. Lychford is under siege from an enemy from outside this world which threatens our reality, and Autumn (the magic shop owner) and Lizzie (the CoE vicar) must work together to protect the people of the town and multiple realities. Don't read this if you haven't read the originals; this is a straightforward plot, and the reader will only get the most out of it if they've read the other books. It's a satisfying conclusion to the series.

I loved this. I really wasn’t sure how the book was going to continue after the major loss in the last one, but it was really cool to see the story progress is such an evolved world. The secrecy being so altered was really interesting and I loved the new character. I’m glad Cornell didn’t abandon the themes of insider/outsider and believer/non-believer. They really enrich these stories.

I'm not entierly sure what to say about this book. It has some interesting scenes and events, but I kept asking myself ''why'' for the main plot, and never actually got an answer!
All in all, I did like it, but not sure I'll be giving it a reread any time soon.

This series has remained strong from the first book. Cornell has created a cool world with rules that make sense, characters that feel real, and conflicts that matter. I enjoyed the new characters and dynamics presented in this fifth novella. It was a quick and satisfying read. I would recommend this series to any fans of magic or strong female casts.
