This has got to be one of my favorite stories ever! I am so in love with Lawrence and Quinn!!

This jack in the green standee is the cutest little trinket. I keep it at my art desk for constant view of my boys and their mom. Perfections 15/10 will buy again for my AK Faulkner totally not a cult totally not a shrine… shrine.

The next book in the series doesn't disappoint in the slightest. If you loved the first ones, it only gets better from there. More world development, more character development, and most importantly more relationship development. Hell yeah. Can't wait to keep going!

Now I have the Best Mom Ever (TM) on my keychain! In all seriousness, the art is gorgeous and the charm is extremely well-made.

This piece is stunning, and absolutely deserves to be a suncatcher. It comes with two little clips that can be attached to the window which hold it up. I will say that it's a little less translucent than I expected it to be, BUT the sun comes through it just fine!

The character development is excellent. The content is always darker than I prefer but I am living for the power development and mystery. Keep them coming, and in audio book format!

I’m a serious bibliophile and get pretty attached to books as it were, but when I tell you that this book starts the series that changed my life, I mean it. I’ve learned so much about myself, these beautiful characters, and made friends in totally not a cult that have given my life new light. I will never not recommend and bought an extra copy to pass around to all my friends to get them hooked as well. Thank you. Thank you for everything.

WHEEL OF FATE is the culmination of the second season generally, and Laurence's deal with Rufus, specifically. The warlock who has been manipulating things in the background and was identified in SPELLS OF SUMMER has finally made his move: demanding that Laurence and Rufus provide him with a particular spellbook from Rufus's sanctum. It's great, excellently crafted and just the right level of intense for this point in the series.

RUNES OF FALL finally takes Quentin, Laurence, and the teens on the promised trip with Neil Storm and his sister, Ames. They head out on a helicopter into the desert to blow off steam and let Quentin practice his powers where he can’t hurt anyone.

As tense and hectic as SPELLS OF SUMMER is, it feels like it might be the calm before an even greater storm.

SIGILS OF SPRING weaves together the search for a therapist with the intrusion of a ghost hunter and a side of kidnapping, forcing Quintin to work through some issues in unexpected ways. As per usual, what Quintin and Laurence are trying to accomplish in their personal lives is disrupted by the intervention of someone wildly out of their control, and not at all welcome.

As a sequel, RITES OF WINTER seems set up to serve as a good bridge between the previous arc involving Quentin's abusive father, and what is shaping up to be the next major story arc involving a malevolent figure, this time connected to Rufus (Laurence's tutor in magic).

PAGE OF TRICKS is where everything comes to a head, where Laurence, Quentin, Frederick, and Michael end up colliding together in the worst way.

I like this as an introduction and as a story in its own right. There's a nice balance between worldbuilding and characterization, especially in such a short tale. The audiobook is excellent, conveying Jon's very dry sense of humor with ease.

I love retellings. This let me have the feeling of a retelling without leaving the series!
