cutesy. i liked the first book a little bit more bc of the villagers and emily's growth. it's pretty slow so i found it boring to read at times. but other than that, it's cute. i liked ariadne, she's cute and i wish we got a little bit more of her. emily and wendell are adorable!!!

and yay they are engaged.

i love shadow, too. i don't have much to say about this book. this was a cute, cozy read and i hope book 3 will be interesting.
