⭐️3.5 rounded down⭐️ I want to start off this review saying that I would still recommend this book, and I DO think people would like it. I think the plot is really interesting, and I love the found family aspect of it.
The reason why I couldn’t give it a higher score personally is because of believability and plot pacing. I think that, though the plot points were amazing, I didn’t believe in the build up to them. For example, I feel like the two main characters started to fall in love very quickly without a ton of build up. Yet, if the author had just waited several chapters in, I think there would have been a more natural place to show their budding romance due to problems they had to face together. It was shared very early on that they liked each other, but I couldn’t figure out how on earth that was possible at that particular moment. But, just 5 chapters later, they experienced a bonding moment that I could very easily see bringing people closer. If she had just moved that idea to the part of the story where it made more sense, it would’ve been fine.
So, maybe the right way to describe it is that it has all of the right pieces of a good story, and all of the outcomes of the story make complete sense, but even though I believed in it…I didn’t. And I didn’t believe in it solely due to pacing.
I do believe other people could get over this, and I still see myself recommending this book to others. It’s very sweet and could’ve been amazing. It just wasn’t the right fit for me.

Not very well written. The story was ok, the dialogue was elementary and repetitive.

This was a cute cozy fantasy, though I did find myself at times getting distracted from the Audiobook, I originally wanted to do an immers ve read with my physical copy, but I was running out of time on my Libby audiobook loan. I will hopefully get to immersive read this in the future!
