For the first time, this is a book by Debora Geary that I wouldn't read a second time.  The main character is, simply, very unlikeable.  By the end of the book, I had some sympathy for her, but she came off as very unattractive in the first half of the book.The book goes over the top in pursuing the idea of a "different witch".  It is not sufficient to be different in one way, she has to be different in as many ways as possible.  Some of this was interesting, but some, such as her eating habits, were just annoying.In addition, the book seemed to be inconsistent.  While the main character didn't like to be touched, to have too many distractions, or to eat certain foods, these were handled inconsistently, making it difficult to suspend disbelief and accept the character.I did however like the expansion of Shay's role.  Overall, though, this is by far the worst book in the series.
