Another fantastic adventure in Hereville. I really enjoy this series, especially the blending of reality and fantasy as well as the folklore elements.
As these books have progressed, it has been interesting to see Mirka’s relationships with her various family members, especially her siblings, and her stepmother always filling an important role within the story. Watching Mirka learn and mature and grow has been such a wild adventure in the best of ways.
This book was perfectly beautiful with a lovely ending that really tied the whole story together. As with the other books, the illustrations were amazing. I really love these strange adventures filled with magic, trickery, suspense, and battles of wits.
