review 1: At the beginning, I was annoyed by the protagonist. It's what the other characters called "innocence", and what I perceived as "cluelessness". But she got some character development by the end, becoming a leader; I warmed up to her. The author seems like he confused himself with the wood-speak. There were times where Wenda actually did say "wood" even though she was supposedly affected by the spell and couldn't say that, but had to say "would". And Prince Hillarion called her a woodwife before they were introduced--he couldn't know she was a woodwife since she looked like a woman.It took far too long for Princess Ida and Prince Hillarion to figure out who their ideal man/woman was. Quick, fun read again. Maybe a touch disappointing.
review 2: I'm rating this on... moree higher because I found it more heart-warming than the last few. Not that they weren't their same happy-ending selves, but I found the characters from "Jumper Cable" to be particularly endearing and some of the favorites from that one show up again in this one and we get to see more happy.I love Jumper, and I really liked what Anthony did with Jumper, Eris and Wenda and Wenda got the best future. It was just lovely. less
