I liked that the focus is mostly on Mavis for this one, and because she is the underdog of The Crimson Vow, her accomplishments are not as trivial or as...I think expected is the right word.
At this point we kind of expect that (because their magical abilities are so extraordinary,) the rest of The Crimson Vow have no real issues or problems achieving their goal. Whereas for Mavis because she is at a disadvantage of not being a magic user, any task she overcomes becomes that much more impressive. It was really refreshing from the other books.
There was one scene I really enjoyed, and I got a real kick out of it, and I did not realise that I had missed that type of humour from the first book of the series. This gives me hope though for future installments.

Well that series is getting stretched to its limits, that much is clear. Still an enjoyable ride with fun characters and an easy read. Mavis got to be even more knightly than usual and a power upgrade, good for her. :)

I continue to enjoy this series with the caveat that it is pure fluff with very little substance. The already cliche premise is getting tired after 10 volumes with very little to invigorate it.

It's getting better again. I think Mavis is breaking rules about her magical limits that were originally set up. It's good to see her get more page-space though.
