I have a daughter who knows nothing about my life in Hallow Hill and she's coming for college holiday break. Her visit will dovetail the Solstice Court Meet. It will be close, but if all goes according to plan, I’ll be out of magistrate robes in time to meet the plane.
The problem here is that I have to include the qualifier if all goes according to plan, and I ask you. When has anything in my life ever gone according to plan?
It may be too late for super shiny hair, going without a bra, or sleeping eight hours without a potty break. But it seems that it's not too late for navigating magical politics, expatriating, romance, and saving the world.
After finishing the first two books in just a few days each, this one took me 3 months to read! And I can't even tell you exactly why, other than that I put it down, and then forgot all about it. So I guess that's it for my visit to Hallow Hill this time around.
Like with the last book, my favourite parts by far are the court cases. Absolutely fascinating, and I love seeing how Rita handles everything. I also enjoyed seeing Rita and Evie together, but was more "meh" about the rest of it.
The last chapter ends with a major cliffhanger, and the fact that that didn't bother me or make me curious just confirms my thinking that I'm done with these characters for now. I may return later - we'll see.
