GUESS WHO FINALLY FINISHED THIS BAD BOY! 
 Definitely an enjoyable book- Jaclyn Moriarty weaves magic with her contemporary novels, so it was an added bonus to see her talk about magical realism as well. As with 'Dreaming of Amelia', I found the pacing of the plot to be lacking- crawling along (which is a pace that I actually love, because it leaves more room for character growth and unf worthy prose!) for most of the book and then racing to a close in the last 50 pages or so. But as with all of Jaclyn's books, the plot is not why I loved this book. She presents such wonderful ideas about life and love through the use of colours (although as an Australian author, the spelling of 'colors' drove me nuts- I guess that's what I get for buying the US edition) both as intangible light in the real world and as physical beings in the Kingdom of Cello. Even though the plot was a little disappointing, I'll definitely be reading on with this series and the absolutely perfect cast of main and side characters. As long as Jaclyn keeps writing with heart and keeps introducing just perfectly developed characters, I have no doubt that I will continue reading her for as long as she is writing. 
 Perfect for any YA reader who sometimes feels like they are living in a black and white world.
