Coming of age historical fantasy. It had cosy vibes but wasn't quite cosy fantasy.
Birdy has grown up on a magical hidden island off the coast of Ireland, raised by magician Rowan. When Rowan goes missing she has to travel to the mainland for the first time. Magic is in danger of disappearing from the world completely so Birdy, Rowan and his familiar rabbit Hutch set out to save the day.
It was more magical realism than full on fantasy. I liked the magic system in the story and the characters were all entertaining. I really enjoyed the writing itself, very lyrical without being over flowery.
