This is a fun series. The narration is chatty and friendly, and I really like having a heroine who isn't all super prickly and mopy, who acts so put upon and like she doesn't need anyone (yeah, I'm getting a bit burned out on the urban fantasy genre!).

But this is a breath of fresh air! It's fun, fluffy, and a perfect quick read for a rainy afternoon. Calliope is growing up a bit; she's matured a bit (but just a bit!) from the last book, but she still keeps getting dragged into family drama against her will. I like how her strength comes not from being the most amazing/powerful/skillful person the world has ever known, but from her refusal to give up and her ability to make connections with other people and get them to work together when push comes to shove.
