This still did not live up to the expectations of matching the first books level, but was leagues above the second book. The mystery in this book was very different and enjoyable in the way it was developed through the story. The characters felt familiar and the same to the first book and continued with the developments of the first books experience rather than being ignored like the second book seemed to do. I’d recommend this if you enjoyed the first book!

I usually don’t like contemporary romance books but this was so cozy! It reminded me of a classic hallmark movie with all the stereotypes that come with it but exploring so much more! The exploration of the different holidays added another plot to dive outside of just romance and allowed the introduction of such different and lovable characters.

A classic Narnia tale. Such warm and cozy vibes that really bring me back to my childhood. I’m loving reading these as an adult and seeing things I never noticed before. The exploration of the fight for freedom and equality, the hiding of identities to survive, the dreamers in families against their beliefs. All at the same time exploring the same characters in a world that has changed and how their relationships grew after their initial time in Narnia.

I absolutely adore this series and look forward to finishing the rest of the series soon.
