A story about depression and anxiety with lots of magic and flowers! This book is widely regarded as a cozy fantasy but there is some gore and darkness to it. The book overall is great, the only problem I found with it is the explanation of why her power was so erratic, it does not fit well with the magic system.
Big kudos for representation and for characters that make mistake but find redemption and forgiveness!

This was not the cozy read I was expecting. I thought more Legends and Lattes/Cerulean Sea but this was more dark things happen with a sens  of hope but I loved it! It was a beautiful story about mental health and accepting and loving who you are, no matter the flaw and the strength in the acceptance. The romance was so sweet as well. CW's(as listed in front of book)for absent parent, anxiety and depression, body horror, emesis, fantasy substance abuse, medical issues, and non-consensual enchantment. Buddy read with Ashley ❤️
