Maybe even even better than the first. ( )

Weird delicious fairy tale remix. Just as much fun as the first one, but I wanted more from Saturday and less from Peregrine, I think. Bah! It's an epic adventure with a magical sword and a moving ocean and a witch on top of the world. Can't wait for the next one! ( )

I liked book one better, but this was still a delightful follow-up. This is Saturday's story, and based off of Baba Yaga (I don't know the exact original story, but it's the one Bony-Legs is based off of). The book begins with Saturday accidentally creating an ocean at her family's doorstep, bringing her sister Thursday. She then ends up kidnapped by a giant raven and deposited in the mountain of a demon witch.

I was a bit put off by the cover because Saturday, as it was made clear in the first book, eschews dresses and would have rather been a boy than a girl. But as with book one, the cover does not do the book justice. It's fairly subversive about gender, having both Saturday and Peregrine playing gender-fluid roles. There's also the addition of the utterly delightful Betwixt, the shapeshifting chimera.

This book ends with the beginning of a larger quest, and a larger story that I'm eagerly looking forward to reading. Ready to start Dearest, and then the Trix books. And hoping that I won't have long to wait for book four... ( )

Gorgeous cover!! I can't wait to read this! I absolutely loved the first book in this series, Enchanted.
