When the Princess of Nova accidentally poisons herself with a love potion meant for her crush, she falls crown-over-heels in love with her own reflection. Oops.

It was fine, although I don‘t really get the hype. However, it was a nice and light read in comparison to all the thrillers I read lol

A great book if you’re looking for something light, exciting, and adventurous. I love the creative storyline and characters!

These books read a little young for me but they were very enjoyable

laura

I really loved how this book wrapped up this series. I also liked how this book tackled the harder issues in this lighter fantsay read. I also do want to note this book did tackled some "pandemic" issues at the heart of this book. But i also really liked the adventure elements. I also really liked how this book had two POV as well. It also dived more into the LGBTQ elements and really liked seeing these characters again!

Royal Tour

I really loved returning to this world. I really loved the adventure and the quest of this novel. I just really liked how this book not only expanded the world but also the many mysteries and quests that occur. I really grew to love Sam in this novel. I really loved the world building on this book a lot. I was easily to fly through this novel. I thought the pacing was bit choppy at points and just wanted more of the side characters like kristy and her best friend to be featured a tad more. But i really loved this book and can't wait to read this the next book in this series!

I thought this was the prefect magic/ fantasy story. I just flew through this novel. The world building was def the stand out in the novel. I also just loved the strong female characters that populated this novel. I did love the duel POV that we did get and also the magic system that was developed. I thought this book was def lighter in topic but I really loved the character and this world and really can't wait to read the other books in this series.

This book was ok. Not OMG THAT WAS THE BEST THING, but not bad either. I enjoyed it, and I have read it twice, but at the same time, some things were just a little off for me. Sam was cool, but Zane (I hope that's his name because I can't quite remember) wasn't for me. I never seem to like the *perfect* boys.

Paula Espinosa

It was a good book. There was, however, one thing that bugged me throughout entire book: there were spelling errors, LOTS of spelling errors. And funnily enough, it was always with the letter z. For example, they would spell the word realize 'realise' or the word agonizing 'agonising'. It was really annoying while reading the book, but highly recommend it anyways. It's got character and plot development and the element of mystery about it. So yes, go ahead and read it. If you're into fantasy, it's a great read.

É um livro bem infantojuvenil, gostei, mas não foi nada de especial....

I cannot put into words how much I enjoyed this book, I read it in one sitting as I couldn’t put it down. Much like Harry Potter, there is enough that is similar to our world, yet it has it’s own amazing twist. The book reminded me of so many books I love (The Edge Chronicals) but with it’s own beautiful charm.

The entire book was fast paced and you felt the urgency of the characters, all of whom were so well written they were an absolute delight. The Potion Diaries is bright, and vibrant and fun, with a strong core that questions friendship and family responsibility. It made me laugh out loud and gasp, I immediately ordered the next book on completion.

Samantha's ability to mix potions is needed when her family is summoned to take part in an ancient quest to save Princess Evelyn from a potion gone awry, but will curing the princess doom Samantha's chance at love?
