Another wonderful Holmberg book! I just loved this story。 Merritt, Hulda, and Owein are some of my favorite characters, with all their quirks and humor。 This story left off right after the end of the first, and I loved seeing how each character progressed。 Seeing Merritt’s frustration with his new-found magic, and eventually his learning how to use it, was so much fun。 I loved the changes in Hulda, as she loosened up slightly and learned to let go and love。 And Owein is just so much fun, I wish Another wonderful Holmberg book!

I need more of these characters! 。。。more

I was so excited to see a copy of the second novel in the series available to read! Especially when I just finished the first book。 I’ve been a fan of Holmberg’s work since reading “Magic Bitter, Magic Sweet”。 The author continues to weave a magical story in a world unlike any other。

I absolutely love this series! This story is filled with mystery, magic, love and a great cast of characters。 I couldn't put this down。 I enjoyed seeing more of Owein in the follow up and I adore Merritt and Hulda。 Charlie continues to write the most enchanting fantasy novels and I can't wait for the next book in this series。 I absolutely love this series!

Melissa,
I loved it。 A great follow up to Keeper of Enchanted Rooms。 I love the characters and love that we got to know Owein more。 The mystery and suspense were great。
