Insights from Just Dreaming (The Silver Trilogy, #3)
Henry needs to stop being so mysterious and just talk. Communication would have solved half of these problems. Silence is not romantic.
The wedding chaos was more stressful than the actual demons. Dealing with parents is the real battle. Magic is easy compared to family dinners.
“I’m not a monster. I’m a girl who’s had a very hard time.”
Anabel deserved exactly what she got in the end. Being pretty doesn't hide a rotten soul. Some people are just broken.
“Fear is a bad counselor.”
The final showdown proved that fear only has power if you let it. Arthur lost because he was a coward. Liv finally stood her ground.
