I would like to thank NetGalley and Orbit for the opportunity to read and review this ARC.

Sorcery and Small Magics was an enjoyable, forced proximity romance, with some great magic, a monster-filled wild forest, and enchanting worldbuilding that felt both familiar and unique at the same time!

I loved the crunchy dynamic between Grimm and Leo, but tbh the way Leo was flippant about most things that Grimm took seriously was a touch annoying at times. I mean, i got it...but still. Lbr privilege will always give me a headache.

Happily though, as the story progressed and as they journeyed together bound as they were, they made a really awesome team and i thought their magical chemistry was brilliant! The way they protected each other stole my heart, and by the end of this dynamic story i found myself thinking that they would be even more lovely together now that they're willing partners, aligned and moving in the same direction with purpose, a bit of a crush and most importantly, in peace.

For the most part lol.

Leo is high calibre mischief and Grimm will have his hands full casting with eyerolls and fending off the silliness i'm almost certain Leo will not give up throughout this series ;p

Maiga's narrative tone and flow made this a wonderful and compelling fantasy that i gobbled up in a heartbeat, and i'm looking forward to the rest of this trilogy because this was fabulous and i want more!
