 I received an eARC of this book from NetGalley and the publisher in exchange for an honest review.

This is another fun (albeit, again, too short) installment in the series featuring Daisy, Queen Elizabeth's right-hand witch. Here she is visited nightly by a ghost who looks suspiciously like Prince Phillip of Spain...but how could that be when the Prince is at the English court? Once again, Daisy must call upon her friends, her training, and her innate magic to defeat the evil forces at play and save Queen Elizabeth. (It's worth noting that, while this is a sequel, it's not strictly necessary to read the first book.)

In this second volume, our Witch in Training, Daisy, saves the day. Historical fiction, we're in 1564 and the court wants to force Elisabeth I to marry Philip of Spain, but evil forces are acting behind, and our witch and a bodyguard will do what they can to protect the Queen and discover what is happening. It's cute and fast reading. The art is minimalistic and simple, easy to read. Feminist and empowering but also about having confidence in oneself. And magic can be part of more than we think. 
In the end, we have a few informational pages about the historical characters. Education and easy to explore in the classroom for teachers and educators.
Thank you NetGalley and publisher for this Arc. My opinion is honest and voluntary.
