the concept introduced at the end of the last book with creepy red riding hood riding the jabberwocky was so fun but most of this book was spent talking about it rather than facing her,
sabrina’s magic addiction arc was confusing coming off of her full bigotry against anything and anyone magical in the last book, just made me mad
puck is also usually my fav and he’s not in this one much at all
this is definitely my fav book for daphne, she ate everyone up

rereading this series from childhood- first half was irritating bc the main focus
is sabrina being MADDDD BIGOTED
and i just wasn’t a fan, the last two ish chapters but mostly the last one- 10/10 read like a soapy action show
the devil smile on little red??? JABBERWOCKY INTROOOOOO so fuckin exciting, puck’s superhero entrance? ridiculous and loved it

rereading this banger from my childhood-still witty and fun and a staple of the fairy tale retellings that i’ve always loved
