I really do prefer Baker’s Wide-Awake Princess series to this one, and I think it’s because the former is more recent than the latter, and thus Baker’s writing is better. It shows the growth of their relationship over the last three books. Despite the rushed wedding at the end, there are virtually no worries about whether or not they will actually tie the knot-and that’s a good thing. I was worried that the book would once again have a focus on the “Does he or does he not” aspect of Emma and Eadric’s relationship that was prominent in the previous ones, but it really doesn’t. So, once again, the blurb is a bit misleading. Also, that part where she turns into a dragon and fights the Troll Queen is awesome. You can tell that her time as the Green Witch has really honed her abilities. Emma’s spells are especially good in this one, particularly the spell that she places on Bradston. No Place For Magic is a nice ending for Emma and Eadric, and it has a promising outlook for the future of Montevista and their stance towards magic. As they travel through unfriendly lands, battle sea monsters and vampires, and find allies in unlikely places, will Emma still see Eadric as the strong and loyal young man she thought he was?”

“When Emma and her beloved frog-turned-prince Eadric travel to Upper Montevista to ask for Eadric’s parents’ blessing on their marriage, they find his homeland in chaos: Eadric’s annoying little brother, Bradston, has been kidnapped by trolls! Worse, his mother won’t let Emma use magic, even to rescue Bradston, and Eadric suddenly seems a bit too fond of the girls from his past.
