I am a huge fan of this series ! It has a magical essence to it which creates a cozy comfort zone for me everytime I go back to it. But this time, I found it a bit tiring and repetitive. Although the short length of the chapters kept me hooked, the stories started falling into a similar pattern of emotions.

However, I LOVED the third story involving
the father and the daughter - it added a new flavour to the monotonous plotline ! It made me quite emotional 😭. Also, the introduction of LGBTQ+ in the last chapter was heartwarming !
Looking forward to more such stories 🌸 ! 

If someone has come to the review section of the fifth book in the series, they must have been through the rest. But if you haven’t already, I highly recommend everyone to check it out !
