Amber (18yo) just wants a lazy last summer before culinary school, but she can’t have that without knowing why her magic is on the fritz and how to fix it. Looking for some answers, Amber goes to a dark magic shop and then a fairydust farm, somehow tangling herself up in more magical problems in the name of love. So much for movie marathons with her best friend and making out with her boyfriend.
Over the course of this trilogy, Amber struggles with her magic, showing that magic does not solve every problem. In this part of her journey, Amber struggles with her own identity, wondering if she can be herself without her matchmaking, and tries to help other magical beings see past their prejudices. While I would have liked to see more growth in her identity crisis, this conclusion is still a fun read and a satisfactory ending. And, as always, Amber introduced me to a new kind of dessert I’m excited to make and try for myself after googling a recipe.
The various races of characters are not described beyond human, witch, fairy, vampire, et cetera. The mature content rating is for mention of alcohol and making out, and the violence rating is for a fantasy battle scene and a fantastical death.
