have loved the third book in this series, because I really loved the first two books This felt like a completely different kind of book than the first two.The first two books felt like going on a thrilling magical adventure with the characters, but this book, at least to the end of chapter 10, which is how far I got before I gave up, felt likeof a treatise on society and the societal

which is not seasonal by the way, is a fantasy book with several plots that are haphazardly glued together Initially the plot seems to be that Sophie, the main character of the trilogy, has to convince two people to get married for royal purposes But that plot is abandoned in favor of two other plots One involves a plot against the king, and the other involves an abandoned university for women Within those plots are various subplots and developments, and the book ca...I was surprised to find out that Season of Spells was intended as the ending of a trilogy, as it felt very much like a middle book It does resolve the through line about women not being allowed at Oxford This book s plot about a Napoleon esque dictator attempting to take over Europe received, strangely, less attention

infused by commonplace magic use Maybe should have read the earlier books first, since it was a bit tough getting to know all the characters and their history at this point.A pretty nice novel I found it a bit slow at the beginning, but it s getting better Nice story line I enjoyed reading it.I received a free copy from the Goodreads First Reads program Thanks for sending me this book.
