This was a transitional book for Jade. She was away from her friends and home and could have been isolated. Instead she temporarily partnered with a group that taught her a very important lesson she desperately needed to learn--not one about herself or her magic, though she learned those, too, but one about how she interacts with her friends.

Often this sort of book really suffers from the change in location or characters. But this one didn't. It actually, I think, refreshed the entire story. Even though this wasn't the end of the Big Bad, it was the end of a chapter in Jade's life and that was more important.

Excellent book. I really liked it. ( )
