Out of the Ashes

2 1/2 stars. I didn't buy the whole “no more magic” thing, or the “I can learn magic with a pronunciation guide” thing, or the secondary romance (which I won't name to avoid spoilers), or the “we can't arrest the uncle much, much sooner” thing, or the magic world. On the other hand, I did like the primary romance (as far as it went), and Ash's pranks & ways around her uncle's dictates.
