This once again is a fun, silly, fantasy book. It doesn't take itself seriously and that's what I love about it. With that being said, I didn't quite like this one as much as the first. The pacing felt a lot slower to me, and I was just a little bored through some parts of it, but other than that I enjoyed it. 

I had a lot of fun seeing Evie's character development as she becomes a little more villainous herself. I adore the relationship between her and the villain. It is the real reason I love reading these books so much. Honestly just seeing the relationship between Evie and all of the other characters is fantastic. I both love and hate how much of a slow burn this is between Evie and The Villain. On one hand this so easily could have been an insta-love story and I appreciate that its not, on the other hand

they are still not together by the end of this book and only kiss maybe like twice towards the middle and last third of the book. It's killing me a little bit.

Though I didn't love it quite as much as book one it was still fun, and I'm excited to see where the third book goes!
