Really really liked this ~magical~ romance!! Mika is a fully fleshed main character, as are her love interest and all of their sidekicks. The central messages of the book - learning to trust yourself and others, the value of opening up, etc. - are relayed with delicacy and Sangu Mandanna doesn't hit us over the head with them.

This was just a purely cozy read, but the characters were utterly loveable, the setting was gorgeous, the plot pacing was spot on... Was just what the doctor ordered :-)
