I was happy to see Mason get a story, but unfortunately it was thin. The budding relationship between Elizabeth and Rosemary was sweet and lovely, but the mystery of magic among the non-magic was missing a lot. The entire resolution occurred off-page, and that was a disservice to Mason. I’m giving 4 stars for the portrayal of the relationship, but wish there had been more to the story overall.
