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.

This was definitely a cozy fantasy - not much happens, the pace is slow but it has cozy kitchen vibes. I didn’t really feel the chemistry with the romance so I won’t be continuing the series.

"Nice guy" comes to "save thedaystaff" by bossing them around and making fun of names, is not something I would call "heartwarming and humorous". Oh, and of course every woman finds him attractive...

I wanted to like this far more than I did. It can't quite decide what it wants to be. Ending left a fair bit to be desired.
