It gives me back my faith in this genre. This charming mix of magic in nineteenth century England. One can't take it for serious. But as a light, enjoyable story it was worth my time. 
 It was funny. I laughed reading banter between siblings. And who wouldn't want to have Charles as a brother? ;-) 
 A love story was sweet, clean and with a little spark. 
 I didn't mind that was totally predictable, ((view spoiler)[I knew very soon that Lochinvar was a wizard. (hide spoiler)]) that the world here was black and white (each character was utterly good or bad) and that the whole novel was evidently for young adult (teenagers). It was written in a way that everyone who is open to such genre can enjoy it. 
 Nonetheless, I give only 3 stars because I think that Marissa Doyle should give us here also a love story for Pen or make the book a little shorter. I felt sometimes that she was pushing too hard. But perhaps it was just my adult voice that thought so ;-) 
 Still, I think I will try another Doyle's book in the future.
