So with this review I think I’ve finally worked my way through the backlog of books. I mean, I’ve still got a couple that I need to review but they’re more recent. Yay!?

The Second Happiest Place in the World
After fleeing from the Covenant, Annie ran to Lowryland, a Disney World knock off (Disney exists in this universe, and Lowryland knows it comes in second), since being in large crowds would make it more difficult track her, even by magical means. When Annie arrives in Lowryland, she honestly expects to be fully on her own for the first time in her life, having even sent her Aeslin mice companions, Mindy and Mork of the Lost Colony, to Oregon. Luckily, once she’s hired and in […]
