Pure Magic from Start to Finish!

Sarah Beth Durst does it again; The Enchanted Greenhouse is an absolute gem. I binged this book in one sitting and was genuinely sad when it ended. It’s the kind of cozy, heartwarming story that wraps around you like a favorite blanket.

I absolutely adored Terlu Perna and Yarrow. Watching them grow, face their fears, and slowly open up to each other was deeply satisfying. Their journey felt so real and tender, and the emotional payoff in the final chapters, complete with a full-circle moment and a happy ending, was everything I hoped for and more.

And let’s talk about the whimsy! Singing plants? Yes please. A winged cat? I’m obsessed. Durst’s imagination knows no bounds, and the magical elements never feel overdone; they’re just the right touch of wonder.

Beyond the fantasy, the book carries powerful messages about courage, connection, healing, and forgiveness. One quote that truly stuck with me was:

“If you’re hurt, you’re hurt. It doesn’t matter if anyone else thinks you don’t have a good enough reason. Pain doesn’t require approval.” That line hit deep; it’s a reminder that healing begins with acknowledging your own pain, no matter how others see it.

Also, my heart was so happy to see Chaz pop up again! That moment felt like a warm hug from book one. I’m officially cheering Sarah Beth on for a third book in this magical world. We need more!

If you’re looking for something enchanting, uplifting, and utterly delightful, this is it. I already miss the greenhouse and its magical inhabitants!
