So, one of the main villains of this installment is The Masked Man. Though his identity is hidden until the end of the story, as soon as he was introduced I knew who it was. While I'm not sure if being able to know that is a good thing or a bad thing, it is what it is. However, what would make a REALLY good twist is that The Masked Man is not really who he was revealed to be and Chris Colfer is just tricking us. That would be interesting. The one thing I haven't been able to figure out yet is who the other heir to magic is, but I do have some guesses. 
 I liked that Conner was on an adventure in the real world and we got to see the separate lives the twins lead when they're apart. Some of the dialogue is ridiculous and doesn't always fit the characters but the story is fun and it's a entertaining adventure. The conflict with the Masked Man and the potential heir to magic along with the new direction The Happily Ever After Assembly is taking provides an excellent set up for the next novel. Needless to say, this saga has kept me interested and I'll be waiting for the next book.
