This was a really great read. Somewhat of a pioneer of low stakes/cozy fantasy in a non-Earth setting, I really enjoyed seeing a new take on fantasy as a genre. It's lovely to enjoy the setting and magic of a fantasy world in a more ... mundane story of you will. It was satisfying and gratifying experiencing every small win and victory as we watch Viv's progress building up her new life. 

A great and quick read overall. While I liked the characters, I didn't fall in love with them, but honestly, I enjoyed the story anyway. It was gratifying, simple, and for me, very quick.

I typically tend to higher stake fantasy, but honestly, this book is a great breath of fresh air between bigger reads, and I can definitely see the use of a subgenre like this one in the future.
