❤️Available on amazon, the ebook is only £2.99, seriously preorder it! I’ve fallen in love with this book, the characters, the magic, the fantasy world, I can’t recommend it enough.❤️
✨While managing to be cozy and lovable, the story hits on so many different topics. There’s the backdrop of an environmental disaster, the perils of capitalism, monopolies, poverty and privilege.
🌍All of this happens in the most unique fantasy world I’ve read in a long while. The Ratatoskr are magical creatures, who live in harmony with nature in Ruhann, the humans live in the city of Kirkhyrst where they have harnessed the world’s magic to power their lives. I adore cozy fantasy but I felt this managed to fit into that subgenre but in such a unique way, it was high stakes while also being infused with a world I loved, wanted to protect and know more about.
🥰The characters are everything, Lailu (cover) is perfect, Daisy is so relatable and there’s a host of supporting characters to love including shifters, vampires and a whole host of magical creatures.
The writing is great, the book flows effortlessly and kept me reading even when I really needed to go to bed.
I hope the author @patchworkbunny continues to write stories set in this world. She sent me a signed copy (which is now one of my most treasured books) in return for an honest review. Thank you ❤️

This is my book! It's set in a modern, secondary world with Ratatoskr, support analysts, cinnamon rolls, introverts, portal magic, shifters, and friendly vampires. I'd say it's more more cosy than grim, though it does deal with environmental disaster.
