The House Witch and The Enchanting of the Hearth

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.
