“What flames could not consume, never shall be extinguished”
Cosy fantasy is one of my all time favourite genres and this is the book that supposedly started the hype. I'm glad to say that it did not disappoint. If you're looking for a low stake, character driven, cosy fantasy then this is the right book for you.
Despite it's low stake title, because I felt so invested in the characters I was deeply hooked about every little thing that happened. All the characters are so likeable which made for a very enjoyable read. What I did not expect is for my heart to be torn into pieces both through sadness and happiness towards the end. It really did wrap the book up nicely. I wish I could put all the characters in a bubble because they're just so cool (especially Thimble, Thimble owns my heart)
I do wish there was more backstory wise so we could understand where the character's actions come from rather than guessing - I assume that's why there is a prequal coming out. I would love to know more about Viv, Tandri, Cal, Thimble and also the Madrigal. Their character is so intriguing I really need more!
