This was a wholesome read. The author describes in the acknowledgments that with this novel she set out to write something that felt like drinking a decadent hot chocolate, or receiving a warm hug; I think she accomplished that. The stakes were just high enough towards the end to be satisfying, feeling like more than just a cozy buttoned up fantasy. But I liked the world, the characters, and the story — it was just an all in feel good read.
