I think these are the perfect books for younger teen girls. This is a YA series, but I think it is younger YA or maybe even a good crossover series from tweens that are moving on from MG. These books are just pure magical fun! Royally BeSwitched picked up right where book 2 left off, with Jax and Surla being sent into the past. And the hijinks ensure from there.I loved how cute, and upbeat Molly's books are. I think the second book in the series is my favorite but all three of the books work really well together. They are quick reads, I finished each one in a few hours, and they are just kind of magical fun. They remind me of casper meets wendy. (does anyone else remember that movie? With a young hilary duff)I liked that Royally BeSwitched had some new characters. I enjoyed getting to know Jax's family. His ancestors were pretty cute. There is a bit of insta love but it is so fairy tale-esque that it didn't bother me. The whole book had kind of an old world fairy tale feel too it.It was a little bit rushed, but I actually think that's why this book is ideal for younger girls. Maybe aged 12-16. (although I'm much older than 16 and I still enjoyed the book) :) It is a short book and it just flies by. I enjoyed this series. The ending was perfect and sweet. It wrapped things up pretty nicely so i'm not sure if there is going to be another book or not. But I could see a few things with Jax that could still be explored so that will be interesting. What a fun series.
