This book was... alright. It was mostly about what Laurel thought as she experienced Avalon for herself. There's a teensie tiny little fight scene at the end with the "arch nemesis" but that's all. The book's romance with Tamani was mediocre at best. It was sweet and believable, but no sparks were present.

Half the book is spent on her learning at the Academy in Avalon which I enjoyed. And then all those really cool things she learned were out the window with the exception of her mentioning that she was awful at faerie magic.

I liked the book enough to endeavor to finish it, but did I absolutely adore it? No. I liked it only slightly less than the first one. If you really love the characters, it would be worth reading. But I just felt it was too dull to really enrapture me. A pity too, because the characters and faerie lore is really well versed and researched.

The name of the book "Spells" is completely out of place with the content.
