A sweet witchy sapphic fantasy romance. This was a low stakes read with such a cosy feel to it. I loved the unique magic system and the growth of the characters relationship. The description was beautiful and I've never wanted a piece of honey cake more than when reading this. Marigold and Lottie's character and relationship progression was a journey. I genuinely disliked Lottie at the start but loved her by the end. I did have an inkling on the reveal for a while but I loved how it played out. The ending was slightly higher stakes albeit a tiny bit rushed and I definitely cried at a few points in the book too. Such a good read.
