Hørt bogen som lydbog og den var virkelig god. Ville helt klart anbefale den. Denne serie er anderledes end andet jeg har læst/hørt hvilket jeg synes er mega fedt.

I enjoyed it a lot more than I thought I would. The second book in the Uncommonness series had that same charm that drew me and held my attention in the first book. Imagine the wonder and excitement of Diagon Alley but instead of visiting it only once a year, you get to visited four times. Plus there are other Diagon Alley is in the world, I’m really looking forward to the next book in the series. This was a 3.5 stars for me. I liked it and then some.

This was a great sequel to the first book. It answered a lot of questions, but also left enough mystery that I wanted to read the next one.

I just adore this world and the magic of everyday items! I also adore Ivy and Seb! This is just a great fantasy book I think! With a dash of humor as well!

A really solid follow up to the smoking sixpence and definitely the best Amazon book recommendation I've ever had. I love that Ivy is the driving force again in this story and that she is surrounded by friends who value her leadership skills despite her age. The world building continues to be fantastic and I do find these books genuinely magical
