I really, really, REALLY hated the illustrations of the natterjack. Hated them so much it interfered with my enjoyment of this otherwise enchanting and enchanted story. I loved the central, thyme-y conceit here. I beg to differ that EVERYONE wanted Jo to end up with Laurie in Little Women, however. ...
Nice call back to one of the previous novels - though this is the second book in a row which relies on tension created by a child sitting there idiotically gabbing out time-related information. There's a complete lack of any sense of danger in the behaviour of these kids.
Raimi and I like this one 2nd best, after Half Magic. 3rd is Magic by the Lake, and Knight's Castle was 4th.
