The House Witch and The Enchanting of the Hearth
Ratings1
Average rating4.5
When Finlay Ashowan joins the kitchen of the King and Queen of Daxaria, he's an enigma. Which suits Fin just fine. He's satisfied simply serving as the royal cook, keeping nosy passersby out of his kitchen, and concocting some truly scrumptious meals. But Fin has a secret, one that may not stay hidden for long . . . As his past begins to catch up with him, Fin must negotiate court politics and stay out of trouble, together with his familiar, the fluffy black kitten, Kraken. But things become even more complicated when he catches the eye of a certain lady who just so happens to be part of the royal court. Can Fin successfully hide his secret and protect his heart? Or will the chaos of the castle and its good-hearted people get the best of him?

Dick Fuks with son Les Fuks are great character names.
Now that that is out of the way, this was a surprising find that I didn't expect to enjoy as much as I did. This was a cosy fantasy, with an interesting magical system implementation. I enjoyed the differentiation between Witches and Mages, as well as how described the difference between the two were.
Fin was a lovable and flawed character. He has a clear attitude, which rubs people the wrong way, but protects those that he loves. No one in this book are perfect - they each have their clear flaws and (most) try to work through it, whether it be because they want to or because they're forced to do so.
The ending was very sudden, which left me a little empty, but I did end up purchasing the other books so maybe it's a well done marketing strategy.
