I really wanted to like this book. At the beginning, I was really feeling the “cozy fantasy” vibes, but it got really boring really quickly. I just couldn't care for any of the characters, and I felt like the plot was all over the place. I bought the audio + ebook combo, and if it wasn't for the audiobook, I couldn't have finished it! I thought this was going to be like “Legends and Lattes”, which I thoroughly enjoyed, but sadly, it's of a much lower quality overall. I won't be continuing with the series :(
This book seemed really cute and fun, but is not for me sadly. I really like the concept, but the writing made it hard for me to enjoy, I'd love to read this book after an editor has gone to town on it. The writing style feels quite juvenile to me for an adult book, everything is spelled out to the extreme. The lack of subtlety by both the writing and the characters themselves is why I stopped reading at this point (22%).
I DNF'd this one. I read about 40% of it and I was really hoping to enjoy it as it seemed to be right up my alley. The characters were interesting, but the plot moved along so slowly that I lost interest.
it was aight. lots of nonsense and dogwater immature humour. haha funny dick fuks name haha funny drunk man naked in a bush lol so hilarious. sometimes the writing reminded me of my writings from when i was 12 and im not trying to be a cunt but im serious. it had the humour of my 12 year old self so maybe i wouldve liked this then lol
Absolutely adorable cozy fantasy. I can't believe I had never heard of it before. It has characters you love to love and love to hate. It's really just a feel good book that'll make you happy.
Very interesting book. I found the characters fun and it was a nice escapism read.
Being a fan of cozy fantasy, this is a great edition to my shelves. I loved this book because in true cozy fantasy, it was an easy read that allowed me to get immersed into the world without having to break my brain on complex world building. The magic system concept was very interesting to me and quite honestly, the limitations of magic being based on proximity and what defines a house/home resonated extremely deep.
The writing is well done, and I am a huge fan of the banter/snark between the characters.
If you are looking for a cozy fantasy that has several books in the series (as well as spin off series), I would highly recommend The House Witch.
