Rating: 5 out of 5

This book looked fun and magical from the start just from the cover. I just knew that even though I had not read any others in the series that I wanted to review. The character of Ainslie is a character that seemed like one that wsa going to be hard to get into at first. She was a little whiney and sometimes that can bea bit much until I figured out that it was all in the author’s workings for the book. She finally became her own person and showed through her character’s strength that she could get through anything with her family and friends. I really liked watching her character transform from what I thought to what her true potential unlocked by the author was truly meant to be.Her family is amazingly funny and I would love to have been in their store if even for two seconds. Jett and Thor were amusing as well and I started to really fall into the book. I loved the imagery that I was able to grasp from the author’s writing of the world that they all lived in. OCD is also a very touchy subject and the author went about it wonderfully. She explains it in a way that would make someone that was biased towards someone with OCD truly have a grasp of what they go through on a day to day basis. I have personally gone through a phase of OCD and it is nothing to ply around with. It can sometimes take over your life. To be young and have it would be even more difficult.I really want to go back and get the first and second book now and read the series from the beginning. Ariella has made me fall in love with the characters in the middle of the story. I also can not wait for the fourth installment. So much reading to do, and so little time. Oh the whoas of loving magically written books that can take you from your world into another. This book had lessons to be learned along with some magical fun and it gets a FIVE star rating from me!Disclosure: I was given a copy of this book for my open and honest opinion. All thoughts are my own.
