I've actually finished the book, and I have two thoughts about the blushful Hippocrene:
1) I would like to have those blushful Hippocrene pancakes, because they sound amazing; and
2) I am kind of impressed that she went there with the five-year-olds plotting Halver's death by drugged Hippocrene (even if Arry ultimately didn't let them go through it with it). It seems that if they had, they would have ended up outside the spell of the Dubious Hills anyway (as Arry and her little brother and sister did), so I suppose even then Halver would have won, in a sense.
I have the sense - both in The Dubious Hills and Juniper, Gentian, and Rosemary - that there is something deep and thematic going on that I'm just not seeing. It feels like it all means something, but what?
