Girl. Assistant blew me away, unexpected as it was, as this is not a genre I gravitate towards. Either way, I was expecting to love Apprentice, and I did. HNM is clever and funny and writes with a loveable flow that makes it hard to put the book down. I loved the continued development of the characters throughout Apprentice, especially Rebecca. We picked up right where we left off in the first book, there's adventure and banter and so many *gasp* moments. I let myself be entertained and I was thoroughly amused. Even more amusing are HNM's videos on socials, omg. She funny. Anyway, the cover is gorgeous and I want book 3 right now.

Note: I would have loved to reread Assistant before this but there was no time! I agree with another reviewer that a recap at the beginning of a sequel and each book of a series would be amazing, written by the author so that they give you the info they want you to remember and nothing more. Can you imagine HNM doing this? It would be hysterical.
