I love this world! I love these characters! I love, love, love it all! So magical! It made me so happy and excited reading it and really what more can you ask for!? Definitely looking forward to reading the next two books in this series.
P.S. If you've only seen the movie, this one is a classic "the book was 1000 times better" scenario.
