There were many things I loved about this book. The main characters were unconventional heroes, which made me love them most of the time, but sometimes dislike them as well. The way Jones wrote about Market Chipping made me think of a sort of Beauty and the Beast provincial kind of town. It had a happy ending, but I didn't know how the book was going to take me there and that made it more enjoyable to read. I also liked that there was a magic element, but it wasn't too fairy tale-esque. A very enjoyable book!
