A lovely story of magic and friendship

I loved revisiting Harwood and learning more about her. my favourite thing was not the story - which was excellent, or the Jane Austen-esq quality of the story - which was captivating like the first book, but the strong friendships between the different female characters. so different and varied and true. highly recommended
