This one hit different. I love Lizzie and Ben so much. The environment of this book also felt so much more real than the previous book in this series. While Mina was often shuffled off into her parlor or the kitchen, Lizzie was in the midst of the activity of the fair and having her own adventures with a fuller cast of supporting characters. 

This is also the only book of this series that has the MC continue his fighting career, and highlights why he’s good at it and has him missing it. I really appreciated that aspects of the story. 

Also Sebastian was everything 🐶
