Ok, this one was more exciting to me than many of the previous ones. I liked 1) quests, 2) learning more Luidaeg backstory, 3) more showing-not-telling of Amandine's jerk-faced-ness, 4) a legit redemption arc for Simon, 5) exploration of Toby's humanity/faeness, 6) August's existence, and her mastery of magic.
I did not like 1) people keep calling her Amy, and that is not new in this book but it seems historically and characterizationally inappropriate and I hate it, 2) I still do not get most of Toby's knee jerk reactions, 3) I still don't care about any of the romantic relationships, 4) August's personality.

Things I loved: The April novella tucked at the end of the book. DANG.
