adventurous funny hopeful inspiring lighthearted tense medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? Yes
  • Loveable characters? Yes
  • Diverse cast of characters? Yes
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

5.0

Cozy feel-good fantasy

Adorable romance that did not make me cringe or gag

Sentient plants who I would die for

Sprinkle in a little stress because *plot*

Very fitting commentary on how the rich like to hoard knowledge and wealth and resistance is always justified 

Winged cats who honestly deserved more page-time

Autism rep that just felt so real

Found family/friends who make you feel like there are still good things left in this world

Raspberry jam and freshly toasted bread

Meep

And the last chapter made the L&D nurse in me so happy. The 4 at once made me LOL though

Also, relationships do not require having to share a living space!!! 

I loved this book so much, and I can't wait for The Enchanted Greenhouse!
