THEY'RE SO CUTE TOGETHER I CANNOT!! I literally SQUEALED when I opened the book and learnt that it was about Penny and Willem after finishing the 1st book. Practically finished both on the same day I LOVE the universe! I didn't really like the amount of spice in here but I still loved this book because: Willem is THE grumpiest grump and Penny is literally the most sunshine sunshine like THEY'RE SO CUTE! It was quite interesting to see them fake date and START DATING because!!! OMG AHHHH. Like when they had to make their act more real OMG.

I loved this book, it was funny and spicy! Good character development. Excellent, and vivid descriptions of the clothes and environment. Lots of laugh-out-loud moments but it still had some serious ones as well.

The animal death is pretty brief, but they do a not-too-descriptive entrail reading involving a few sounds. So it's not bloody or gory.fivecatsinacoat's review against another edition

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for an advanced review copy of this book.
I really wanted to love this one, but there was just so much that made me cringe. Did I enjoy the story and the magic? Yes. Did I want to punch Penny every time she said "double-yew tee eff" or "ess tee eff yew" or "oh em gee." Also yes. Sounding out the words was unnecessarily annoying and takes you out of the story each time.
