Honestly, 5 stars for vibes. THIS is what cozy fantasy should be about. Books, sentient plants, a jam shop, magical creatures, learning to live in community, learning to love. Add a touch of danger or tension at times, and it’s perfect. I found this book utterly charming. I was scared it was going to be too saccharine and over the top, but somehow the author balanced everything really well. If you need a feel-good, cozy fantasy with high stakes but low drama, a bit of whimsy and silly, with a bit of love and friendship on the side, this is for you!
