This is a satisfying conclusion to the duology that starts with Elsie being exposed to the authorities as an unregistered Spellbreaker and thrown in jail.

Thanks to an appeal by Bacchus to the magistrate that bends the facts, and implies he and Elsie are engaged, he wins her freedom as long as she agrees to undertake formal training and invite the magistrate to the wedding.

The tale follows Elsie as she tries to track down Master Lily and the Opuses while contending with starting her Spellbreaker training, planning a wedding, searching for her family and figuring out who the American is.

It's an intricate and engaging web of events, filled with characters that are packed with personality, that has been a pleasure to read.

Hopefully, the Author will revisit this series in the future as it has the potential for many more rich and interesting adventures for Elsie and Bacchus.
