why would diana risk all her fanily's memory bottles to get back at meg?!? why is she behaving like a petulant child in this book

the french and italian is so clumsy too, not as bad as the german in the second book but god did she just put all those phrases through google translate? did she just type in each word and piece them together?

ysabeau reads like a bad fanfiction version of herself. why is she being so cryptic? why is she back to being horrible and insensitive about hunting and burning witches at the stake? genuinely who are these characters?

it's painful that the two scottish characters are both drunks. very clearly written by an american. i dont even know if she's american but i'm sure of it

'"I know,” I said, tears streaming down my face. “I just wanted—” “Don’t,” Matthew cried. “God help me. Please. Stop.” “I’m sorry, my love. I only wanted—” I protested. Not another word, Diana."'

'Fresh tears welled up, but I sniffed them away. This was not
the time for me to fall apart or give in to self-pity'
this is a 40 year old woman? a powerful witch? a mother of 2 children? wtf

okay i take it all back!!! why would diana be so stupid and reckless in the labyrinth. she was told it's the last test of higher magic- only for advanced witches, she was told it would be between her fears and desire. it all starts with ... but oh no she asks and asks and asks to get things from it like a child in a sweets shop

i admit the memory bottle thing seems random and it seems that the plot for diana to know higher magic is kinda being abandoned but i dont rly mind a lot. it's kinda speeding up the book, but i like the cosy chapters too; the coven, the garden, the tea - daily life. that's what i always wish for, for books to include the happy end

dziwnie jest wrócić po latach do tej serii, bo myślałam że jest to już zamknięta historia.

come to tgink of it, if both her children are to be tested earlier because of higher magic being strong in both diana's parents, why was she not tested or introduced after it became clear that she's powerful and a weaver? stupid stupid stupid book

they are meant to be all about manners and propriety but i havent seen a single please or thank you uttered by any of the characters. maybe there's a few thank yous but definitely no pleases

why is matthew so against the children learning to deal with their magic? genuinely who tf are these characters? who wrote this book because surely it wasnt rebekkah

there's so many small discrepancies that i cannot believe the sam author wrote this book, from the big ones like dianas character - to ysabeu speaking in a strange stilted way. the writing is clunky and weird to read. why would diana tell matthew to keep to the speed limit when he has the kids in the car? a protective vampire protects his own, that includes driving safely. all these small things add up
