I liked the first book (The Enchanted Emporium) a lot, but this one...eh. It was alright. It really wandered for the first half. The pace didn't pick up until the latter half of the book. In fact, the plot elements didn't really get introduced much at all for the first third of the book. The story revolves around one member of a large, magical family and maybe I wasn't in the right mood for it, but the family elements were super annoying this time around. I just kept thinking how I would probably have killed myself to have grown up in such an invasive, manipulative, controlling family. Bleh. But hey, there were selkies in this book and it actually made the rising of an Elder God from the bottom of the sea into a throw away joke tied up in the space of half a page (and actually made that amusing).
