If magic is what you were looking for in this series, this is the book you were waiting for! At last, we get to see a character with true magic and how she struggles with it. An excellent way to "end" the series (there are 6 books in the series, but you could just read the first 3 and be fine). Stakes even higher than before. Loose ends are finally tied up. Old characters make a return. Secrets and twists are everywhere. The DRAMA. The TEA. Piping hot. Juliet Marillier ate and left no crumbs.
