This whole series is fun and silly but this one goes just enough more off the rails and while that is not necessarily a bad thing idk if it's doing the book any favors either

More plodding in pace than the first two books

Very tense that Mendanbar could be dead the whole time

Loved the cats and the implication of their magics!

I've liked the first two books in this children's fantasy series, but this third one is a misfire for me. Its issues might not trouble a younger reader, but the humor is way more slapstick than before, and the new character of Killer the enchanted rabbit takes up far too much space being far too annoying (his catchphrase, repeated ad nauseum: "I'm HUNGRY"). The plot is thin and ends on a cliffhanger, so I just hope the fourth and final book is nothing like this one.

I love that this one takes place from Morwen's point of view. The only thing I'm missing is her backstory. I would love to know how she came to be in the Enchanted Forest as a witch in the first place.

Features a 6' 11" blue donkey named Killer and a sly reference to a flying mortar and pestle.
