Really enjoyed it, looking forward to the series.

It just didn't draw me in and I read Terry Goodkind, Douglas Adams, Neil Gaiman and Stephen R. Donaldson. I'm totally comfortable with fantasy. Maybe it was the author's style but it didn't flow for me.

I liked it for what it is, a quaint, cozy mystery. If you want Sherlock Holmes, read him. This gave me a much needed break from helping my mom make it through chemo. No earth shattering discoveries with this story but I got to get away. And I'm going to try her recipes but I'm gluten-free so they might not work out as well with rice flour.

Loved it! Totally a “cozy mystery”!

He's always so miserable. I can't root for him at all. But I'm rooting for the Land.

Fast-paced, enthralling

Started out great but dragged at the end. It could've ended at least 100 pages sooner. I started to find the characters really annoying.

Hated what happened to every character. Absolutely ruined a series I loved growing up. I wish I hadn't read it.

Fun, fluffy read when you want to take a break from all the other books.

Listening to George Guidall bring Qwill to life is fantastic. I actually laugh out loud at Koko.

I listened to this series. George Guidall brought everyone to life. I loved the people, cats, towns, everything. That's why this one was so disappointing. I know it's been reported that Ms. Braun did write this one but if that's true I'd love to know...Why? Why would she do that to these characters? I'm okay with relationships changing/ending but was she planning on doing something more in another book? When I re-listen to this series I chose not to listen to this one.

Really dislike Lena. So much so I can't stand to read about her and her miserable attitude.

Couldn't finish it because of the animal violence

Started this but stopped pretty quickly. I didn't realize each book was going to be some “poor, lonely” woman finding her true love. I don't enjoy romance novels. Too bad because I did like the first one.

Didn't like it, the main character was not someone I could feel sympathy for

I didn't bother finishing it. It was poorly written, as if the publisher said “Let's corner the tea drinker/mystery market” and picked the nearest person to write. It didn't flow. I will avoid any other themed mysteries like this because they're probably all as poorly written.

Stopped as soon as she started talking about jesus. If it's a xchristianx book it should be labeled as one.

I read this years ago but I'd like to read it again. I have a vague memory of not being thrilled with the ending.

I wish all books had trigger warnings

Definitely enjoyed it. Looking forward to more.

I rarely read this genre but I enjoyed it a lot. I would have liked a bit more update at the end but oh well.

Didn't really care that much for Will, love Sara, and am just so happy not to read about Lena all her self-hatred, miserableness.
