This was a very sweet book. I loved how empathetic it was to all of its characters, with even characters that were initially set up as antagonists being treated with compassion and understanding. I really enjoyed the cozy vibes, and just wished we could have seen more of this world (which admittedly would have been difficult to do while keeping things as low stakes as they were).
