Great read!

Excellent
1) The female lead continued to grow and mature while remaining multi-dimensional, relatable and likable
2) The new 'ally' relationship developed in a believable and engaging manner

Good
1) The female lead's new responsibilities added depth and detail to the world and story
2) The storytelling flowed better and developed some sophistication
3) The settings were again rendered beautifully
4) The series arc grew in complexity
5) The plot-driven storyline had a beginning, middle and end
6) The plot-driven storyline was filled with suspense and intrigue
7) I keep forgetting about the cat! The cat was hilarious as usual.

Bad
1) The teaching methods shown were still ridiculous
2) The male best friend character's characterization was flat
3) Whatever happen between the female lead and the male best friend started out as big deal, was never really fleshed out and then just dropped.
4)

Onto the next!

Good Witches Don’t Curse (Academy of Shadowed Magic Book 3)

Good Witches Don’t Curse (Academy of Shadowed Magic Book 3) ~~ This series just keeps getting better! Book three had me completely captivated from the first scene. The magical battles were epic, but it’s the friendships and bonds between the characters that really made my heart happy. Clementine’s strength, especially as she faces darker choices and harder truths, was inspiring. Every chapter added new twists without feeling chaotic, and the slow-burn romance teased just enough to keep me wanting more. I flew through this book in a single weekend because I just couldn’t stop reading. I absolutely loved every page of it!

Who said cheaters never win? What if it is your QUEST/DESTINY to beat the "Shadows". Who are the enemies you don't know about, yet? What if one is a Professor? Will you take that duty? can you run from your destiny?
is there another way? You have collected 2 of the needed "weapons" to help you, you and you best friend-one of them- have practiced all summer, He is getting better, but your still having issues controlling you "Fire Magic"
Your room mate Eve- a fairy- is helping you. Your a guardian this year, now you with the other guardian take the calls, to save other's from the "Shadow" people. Can you collect all the pieces to finally ...... Great fast faced pace story.

Having 2 pieces of the weapon, means it's time to find the 3rd. The riddle points to Siberia. The Shade is becoming more powerful, and the gaurdians are being attacked.

Not my favorite in the series, but drove the plot along very well to only build up how this series will end. This slow burn is also so romantic.

Another exciting page turner for me, but now the release date for the next one has been put back till August for update which I'm sure will be worth the wait.
