This is my favorite book in the series - the Shakespearean comedy of the love potion going awry was fantastic. I was laughing my way through most of this book.

SpoilerI do feel like it's a little bit of an un-earned out for her relationship with Ian, though. I get her being a little hurt, but ultimately he didn't have control of his actions and it was her potion, so it was at least partially her fault. I don't care too much, because I don't think it was ever going to work with Ian anyway - she can't be honest about the magical world with him, which means a real relationship is impossible. But I would have liked to see a more fair wrap-up of their fling.
