The Spellshop by Sarah Beth Durst

3.5

This was just as sweet and cozy as everyone says that it is! Even though it’s a little bit slower paced than I typically prefer to read, I still really enjoyed it. There were just a few aspects of the book that I wish the author had expanded on a little bit. For example, the library- I had so many questions about what ended up happening to the library, and all of Kiela’s colleagues, after the fire, and it felt a little unrealistic to me that no one would have been looking for her. I also wish there had been more focus on the romance. I felt like Kiela’s affection for Larran came a little bit out of nowhere. But all of that aside, I did think this was a very sweet story about love and friendship and I would recommend it if you’re looking for something lighthearted to read 🫐🍓
