I really like this series. I was so glad we got to see Nancy again in this installment and we got a fat MC! I loved Cora and how she totally got that being fat isn't just about your diet. There are so many other factors that go into what your body will look like and you can be both STRONG and FAT, as well as beautiful. None of them are mutually exclusive. 

I loved the adventure of this book. Rini, the impossible daughter of Sumi, comes to Ms. West's Home and must rescue her mother from death. I was so happy we got to see Confection. It was a magical and fascinating place, especially since most of the other lands we've seen so far have been Logical worlds. 

My only wish is that eventually Kade will have his book, I NEED IT.
