I'm generally not a fantasy book person, but @Siobhán managed to persuade me, and I'm glad they did. I will admit I had to google half of the creatures mentioned in the book though 'cause I had no idea...

It's just the coziest of stories and, while the beginning is the most bloody and gory bit of the whole thing, it's mostly very wholesome. It's about starting over and learning to begin again, to do what you've always desired, and the power of community and friendship.

Slow claps for Viv and Tandri on the slowest of slow burns. They were still very cute, but dang--read the room and each other.

Thimble was my favorite though and was pure preciousness. Gahhhh. Would love to taste his baking skills and, while he didn't say much, his lines were 10/10 every time. Example:

“"Any idea where I can get all this?” Viv asked Tandri.
“Not immediately, no. I’m sure I can find a baker, but…”
Thimble interrupted by pulling on Viv’s sleeve and pointing to himself. “<i>I show.</i>”
“Oh. Sure. Well, no time like the present, I guess. Tandri, you’re fine with holding things down ’til we get back?”
“Of course.”
The rattkin shifted from foot to foot and stared longingly at the coffee machine.
“<i>Coffee first?</i>” he pleaded.”

Only complaint is that I want to know what happens next! Also +10 scritches to Amity the dire-cat for getting Fennus.

I cried with and for the characters. A lovely cozy story outside of my usual reads. The premise drew me in, but it was the characters that kept me. The ending tied loose ends a little too nicely for my taste, but I think that's more on the cozy low-stakes vibe the story has than any fault of the writing.
