As complaints go, it's extremely minor but it was the only thing that kept the book from being perfect. It was a not particularly important subplot that I would have rather not been included in the story. It was transparent and irked me every time it came up in the story. The Bad: Aunt Ve's illness didn't work for me. Unlike too many other cozy mysteries heroines, she has a real reason to be involved in the investigations, making it that much easier to be sucked into the story instead of constantly wondering why anyone even talks to her. Darcy is a very likable character, who you naturally root for. With the world building out of the way, this book focused a lot more on the people and I really loved seeing a more in depth look at the town, its residents and their abilities. The mystery was really interesting - a missing hoarder, found dead under a pile of her junk. The books are light, fun and utterly magical.
