The Spellshop

This was such a charming read! There were so many elements that I enjoyed in this story, probably because they are things I like outside of the book itself. From the love of books, to cozy cottagecore, to highly imaginative fantastical creatures and characters, and the warm hug that is found family. I think I also enjoyed our main character's journey from anti-social introvert librarian to entrepreneur of her own little shop, and becoming part of a community again in the process. Can I also just say Caz and Meep? Sentient plants are the best fantastical creatures I've come across in a while! I did feel like the story started to meander a bit towards the end and I was anxious for the conclusion and not really because it had me on the edge of my seat. I mean you kind of know what's going to happen anyway and it it just took a bit of an unnecessary amount of time to get there in my opinion. BUT that's a small quibble overall! It was just the right amount of charming, cozy, and fantastical otherwise and I really loved it.
