This book was so cozy!! The characters were so loveable, the stakes low but high enough to be deeply invested.

The magic system is delightful, I loved Mika, Jamie, and everyone else. This is the epitome of found family and it made me all warm and cozy. 

I do feel that I have to warn people, I did she'd a few tears during this book, and I had not expected it and was on a train. So be warned. (they were so worth it though). 

It's also proof that the chipper protagonist gets with grumpy, mean, seemingly uncaring person with heart of gold is not a bad trope, if you actually make sure the person is just grumpy, does like the protagonist and has a heart of gold! Instead of just being awful to the protagonist all the time and then all of a sudden also being in love???

The book is heartwarming and relaxing. This is a story of found family and finding small ways to make changes in the the world. Pretty much every character is lovable in their own way and all of their interactions are so wholesome and the romantic relationships are very sweet.
