This was everything I wanted and MORE. It was cozy, funny, sweet, unexpected, and really fun. It was extremely well written with amazing characters, a beautiful setting, and an interesting plot. It walked the line perfectly between keeping me interested but not raising my blood pressure and leaving me feeling lighter.
This has easily risen to the upper echelons of cozy fantasy for me. I would die for Caz and Meep....they are perfect babies and you cannot tell me otherwise. I love the hesitant and beautiful love story with the hunky, softspoken merhorse herder that build book and jam shelves and the quirky, socially awkward librarian.....it makes me smile to even think about.
The ensemble case is AMAZING - I want to live there and meet them all eating at the bakery and riding the merhorses, exploring the orchards and visiting the cloud bears....I could go on and on about how much I loved it, seriously.
If you love cozy fantasy (or even if you don't), you do NOT want to miss this one. It's beautiful and is a warm hug with a cup of tea with a side of toast and jam, perfect.
