Fantasy Editorial Review

The editorial review provides a mixed reception of the book. The reviewer notes that there are many interesting lessons that readers can gain from reading the book. However, they also mention that the writing style is not tightly written and leaves readers wondering about messaging. They argue that magic use in the book's world is so common that it raises questions around promoting the idea that painful or embarrassing secrets should not be talked about. Also, the portrayal of male characters in romance being fickle and unreliable seems like a good message for young readers, but it might be incidental. The book has an engaging plot, quirky and lovable characters, and entertaining and charming writing with a bit more explanation required at the end. The varied opinions contrast with the reception of the product in the reviews, with most reviewers rating the book positively.
