This book marks a slight change in the format of the books in this series…and it’s a positive one. There are many short scenes, often showing relationship development, throughout the book. I found myself looking forward to them!

Tom’s role is also changing, due to Giles telling Sebastian about the boy’s career ambitions. We also get some lovely moments where Sebastian reflects on the effect of the events of this book and the last on children.

I’m a little sad that I’m almost through with what has been released. This is such a wonderful series!
