I'm very disappointed with this one. "Wish of the Wicked" was the first book I read last year and it was one of my favourite books from last year. After reading this, I still maintain that it should never have been made into a duology. 

The characters have nothing to so in this book. Cinderella and Mather spend the majority of this book Frozen in time, that's how bad it is. Every problem is created by magic and solved by more powerful magic.  This entire boom could have been solved by Hecate wishing for it to be over. Bari is the only one with anything to do at all, and it wasn't even interesting.

The worst part were the themes. I ATE UP the themes in the last book like it was chocolate. This theme was.... kissing makes it better!?! What happened to themes of revenge, identity loss, etc??? How did we go to romance saves the day??? If Paige wanted to solution to be love, it could have been the sisterly/familiar love between the Entente. Instead the last 200 or so pages of this book are the characters talking about kissing eachother and thinking about kissing eachother and talking/thinking about which other characters are kissing each other. 

The Rooks are even more stupid than I thought they were going to be. Totally unesseary and confusing.
