A Drop of Fortune is a cozy fantasy novel with a romance side plot that follows Evelyn Rosewood, the royal witch representing one of the realm's four covens, as she covertly attempts to heal a blight in a seaside town. While settling in, she befriends many of the local townsfolk and gradually enmeshes herself within the community. 

This book didn't quite work for me - while I've enjoyed cozy fantasy previously, some of the aspects of the story fell a bit flat. I didn't fully understand the purpose of Archie, Evelyn's familiar, and often found him to be somewhat distracting from the rest of the story. I also listened to this as an audiobook and didn't vibe with the voice the narrator used for him as it felt a bit cartoonish. I enjoyed the romance between Evelyn and Corrin, but found her worries over her interactions with the other folks in town to be a bit overblown. Meanwhile, larger plot points like the conflict between the king and his brother end up being resolved in the background, and some of the less positive interactions with the townsfolk seem to get resolved almost too easily.
