I feel undecided about this book. Usually the bad moments feel nit-picky and the good outweigh them or vice versa, however with this book i just feel a bit... mid?
The first chapter was a real drag. It was stuffed with context that we really didn't need. I mean, it's the sixth book in the series... if you've gotten this far, then you know what's happened lol. It just felt unnecessary and word-padding (which is a common issue I'm having with this series).
However, there are some things I did really like. Firstly, I loved the little detail of Nanny and Fairy Godmother making a pink and blue cake! It played homage to the Disney film as well as the previous book on Maleficent. Also, the 'Mourning Box' story about Jacob was so heart-wrenching. I could have read that part of the book for hours on end and I would read a whole book just about that tale.
Overall, the book is definitely not one of the bed in the series and I can see myself forgetting about reading it in the future.
