I LOVED the first three books in this series. This one, not so much. I think it boils down to repetitivness and predictably. I understand briefly refreshing the reader on past events incase they are new to the series. However going over and over and over magic flavors and colors and past events quickly become boring. If i had read this book first I don't think I would be enticed to read the other three books. Everything was thoroughly explained and left nothing to be curious about the events of the previous books. In this book I kept waiting for a plot twist, Jade to fall in love Kandy. . . Warner to turn evil. . . Jade to loose her magic and fight to get it back. . . Scarlett or Gran to disappear. . . Sienna's ghost to start wreaking havoc. . . SOMETHING. But no. :(

I've been listening to the audio books and the narrator is awesome. I will be listening to the next book and any other books that come out even though I was disappointed with its book I have faith they will become better ( )

I combined reading and listening with this book with kindle whispersync. As far as the story goes, I really enjoyed it. It starts ten months after the end of book 3 and in many ways is the start of a new series arc so in some ways it felt quite fresh whilst also bringing in elements and characters of the previous 3 books. It was an intriguing new adventure and with a new character introduced as a potential love interest for the MC, we got to see a new dynamic in the interactions between the characters which was fun. In this book, Jade seems more settled in her powers and her and it was nice to see this character development. As per usual, with all the talk of cupcakes and Chocolate in this book, I found myself craving blackforest cake chocolate at the end of it. From a listening perspective, I wasn't mad about the narrator. She seemed to have a kind of bored tone to her reading that kind of got under my skin a little but not enough to completely distract from the story thank goodness. Overall I really enjoyed this book and am greatly looking forward to book 5 :-) ( )

Now that Sienna, Jade's sister is really and truly dead Jade is hoping for some time to work at her bakery. Instead she's having to reassure hunt for one of the guardian dragons. Another good story with another crazy billiards. ( )
