Sorcery and Small Magics by Maiga Doocy
3.5
One trope to describe Sorcery and Small Magics: Forced Proximity.
Leo through a mishap with some paperwork is accidently cursed to obey every command given by his rival Grimm, Leo and Grimm don't get along Leo is dyeing Grimms hair pink and a coming up with songs that do nothing for Grimm's popularity.
Sorcery and Small Magics: is super cozy and perfect for October, so add this to your cozy, autumnal reading list. There's magic, mushrooms, music and witches in tall towers perhaps not in that order. I thought the premise was cute forced proximity is always a favourite with rivals to lovers, combine it with a slow burn romance and you've got a winning combination.
I liked it and I want to read book two. My only issue/s are that Leo is a self-destructive protagonist and those are my least favourite, well them and the annoying ones, I'm an equal opportunity protagonist hater. He faces a lot of trouble throughout this book but most of it he causes himself. Leo is also a terrible friend there's really only one person he thinks about and that's himself, it was odd just how clear at times Agnes had to make herself that it wasn't all about Leo, even Grimm had to make a comment to Leo about the rich/poor divide between themselves - he just wasn't aware of anything outside himself. It was that lack of awareness and the self-loathing and a childishness that was at times insufferable and which made Leo an unbearable MC. That being said, we had character development which I love, Sybilla thank goodness for her saved the day, no doubt my favourite character. Leo developed into a slightly more bearable man, but I didn't like that ending to me it seemed odd that Grimm would have been find with the ending. I don't quite know how to phrase it without giving the game away.
We don't get an actual conclusion, which is because Sorcery and Small Magics is the start of a new trilogy! I'm very excited to see where we go with Leo and Grimm and look forward to continuing the series.
