This was a cute story, but fell a little short for me after coming from Reimena’s Seance Tea Party—that book was just magical to me!

I enjoyed the trinkets in Whimsy’s house and wish we had seen even more in detail. The little adventure travel bag that Nan and Whimsy make for Safia was SO CUTE! Loved that detail.

My main frustration was how Safia was taken advantage of in her blindness by Hebe. I just really lost interest in the story after seeing how it unfolded. The ending also felt rather quick and a bit confusing to follow at times.
