The mystery in this was so good? I've loved the plot aspects of the rest of Stephanie's novellas, but this one was above the rest. The fey altar, and not knowing who had placed it? The vines crawling in from the forest, trying to get into the school? It was so atmospheric and spooky, without ever losing the fun atmosphere that I've come to love from these stories. And having Cassandra and Wrexham without conflict between them? I'm soft, I love them so. We also got to meet my favourite couple, Caroline and Juliana, and see what happened to lead to Moontangled.
As Cassandra's biggest fangirl, I also loved seeing Cassandra in her element, teaching her first students and trying with that traditional Harwood stubborn spirit to get her school up and running against all odds, and there was just enough romantic strife to be fun and exciting without ruining the soft and fluffy relationship between the two.
