truly, i could not put this book down. it just got better and better the more i read. a wonderful and heartwarming story. 
i loved the worldbuilding of the magic - just as you expect, and it aligns with all the familiar fairy tales, but with a touch of uniqueness to this fictional world. 
the romance was also SO GOOD. ive never been into the romance genre, and i wouldnt say this is necessarily a romance novel, but the romantic plot was incredibly well done - relatable, funny, emotional, perfectly paced, and incredibly satisfying. 
the representation in this book is lovely as well. the different races of the characters are simply stated, but the differences between each are acknowledged and deemed important at the same time. 
anyone who loves love, magic, and silliness - and a happy ending - should give this book a read.

This book proved to be a genuinely enjoyable read,  with a delightful blend of coziness and witchy charm. The endearing characters, particularly the children with their distinct personalities, consistently made me smile and gave me 'aww' moments. The well-managed pacing contributed to a pleasant and light-hearted reading experience.

The 'twist', while not particularly exciting compared to other works, presented a challenge that needed to be faced without turning the book into something it wasnt. Additionally, certain highlighted quotes throughout resonated with me on an incredible level.

However, a drawback caused me to deduct a star, due to unexpected explicit language and scenes. The abrupt shift from a story centered on young witches and their nanny to explicit content was, unfortunately, uncomfortable.
