I love some of the passages, but the narrative is quite... Hand wavy.
This was such a cute little book. I loved the narrative style and the characters. I think I'm missing something reading this by itself - I didn't realize it was a second book in a series, or tied into other book series as well.... it didn't really stand on it's own that well, but again, that's my problem.
