I have been looking forward to reading Sera and Hugo's (Phoenixes) story for a couple of books since them and their friendship have been mentioned a few times previously and I am glad to have finally read their book and that it was as fun as I was hoping. Both their characters were entertaining and I liked that we got a peak at how Evie & Ceb from Team Building For Friendly Hellhounds are doing. I look forward to reading more about Sera's new friend Rhea in the next book Stoney Gazes For Helpful Gorgons.

This book was another great addition to the Obscure Academy series and focuses on Posey (Rose Fairy), her corgi familiar Onion, and Cedric (Dryad). The relationship between Posey and Cedric is very slow but natural and I enjoyed getting to know both of them and seeing their story come together. I am also looking forward to the next book about Posey's friend Sera and seeing her finally get together with Hugo since they have been mentioned previously as well.

This book is part of the Grimm Academy Series of Stand Alone Fairy Tale Retellings and so far it is only the third I have read although I do intend to read them all. I enjoyed reading this Retelling of The Twelve Dancing Princesses and getting to know Audrey & Eugene in this story. It was fun that Audrey had a cousin from a previous book in this series that we got to interact with although I haven't read Pumpkins And Proms: A Fairy Tale Retelling Of Cinderella yet so I look forward to backtracking and reading Florian & Ella's story later. Three of Audrey's Twelve younger sister's also joined the story partway through the book and Karen also has a fairy tale connection by introducing elements of "The Red Shoes" which is a Fairy Tale by Hans Christian Andersen that also revolves around dancing that I was less familiar with although the two worked together here really well. In the end notes the author says she may write more about Karen later which should be interesting.
