"Anger was so much easier than sadness, hurt."
Spells opens up with Laurel going to an faerie academy in Avalon so that she can learn how to be a Fall faerie. Avalon is beautiful and fascinating, but I skimmed through the copious descriptions. There's just too much describing. Although, the faerie hierarchical structure interesting.
The rest of Spells focuses on Laurel's feelings towards Tamani and David. Her conflicting feelings towards Tamani and David gives me whiplash. When she's with Tamani, she either completely forgets about David, feels guilty for not thinking of David or starts thinking about David and vice-versa. She also leads both boys on, but because she's beautiful and compassionate and has a bunch of other Mary-Sue qualities, it's totally okay. SO NOT COOL! I feel like Laurel needs to do some introspective soul-searching and figure out who she is and what she wants before looking for a boyfriend.
There's also a small part of Spells that focuses on the trolls plot from Wings, but it's a small and insignificant part - almost like it was an afterthought.
The annoying love triangle seeped through every part of Spells and ruined my reading experience.
