took me a while because of real life stuff, but this one is absolutely enjoyable
its definitely on the "darker" side of a children's story (with all the killing and stuff)
i love how real Mona is and how she's not this short of girl suddenly playing hero. she started off wanting to clear things up for herself, trying to protect herself from a psychotic killer and ended up (unwillingly) became a hero because she was the only wizard available.
i also love how the duchess isn't depicted as this all-perfect leader, and how Mona's disappointment and understanding of her were both very justified.
the only downside of it was probably how i hoped for more of the Spring-green man. for a somewhat mysterious villain, he had this air of elusiveness and sinister that i had hoped for more of him and at the end of the day, he wasn't exactly the main villain. the Carex also didn't have much depth because they're basically just faceless mercenaries that attacked the city.
all and all, this one is very enjoyable to read.
