I liked this book, although it was a bit slower than the previous books...

The only thing that is starting to annoy me a bit is Sabrina's obnoxious personality. She does not listen anyone and rebels against every wise suggestion. She does the most dumb things and is a very angry character, she's a lousy sister, granddaughter and friend. Her character is supposed to grow and learn from her mistakes but I just don't find her learning moments all that believable. She just decides that now she has learned her lesson... and then the next book she is a dumbass again... It's difficult to believe in the rehabilitation of a character when they're in a loop of making similar mistakes...

 I had whiplash reading this. Not only was this the first book where Puck and Sabrina kiss (!!!) but it’s also the book where Puck is just fully out of commission for most of it. I definitely preferred the beginning since the jokes just held up more, but it was still a solid moment overall. Charming was an icon here and he’s finally slowly leaving his villain era. This did make me super stressed out with Sabrina suffering from weird magic addiction and also just being a total bitch to Daphne, but it generally still hit. I need a Fairy Godmothers Against Drunk Driving shirt immediately.
