😭❤️🥰
Oh my! This was such a charming YA fantasy with oodles of heart.
I did a tandem read with the physical book while listening with the audio and I must say: the audiobook was phenomenal. The narrator was so good and the way she differentiated the character voices was 😘🤌🏻
An enchanting story with delightful twists and turns. I could easily see this as a Myazaki movie. It very much gave me the same feelings as watching Howl's Moving Castle- in fact, the characters Elisabeth, Nathaniel, and Silas reminded me a lot of Sophie, Howl, and Calcifer respectively. I fell in love with their easy comradery and clever quips.
There was just so much to adore:
✔️Magical libraries
✔️Book smart, sword-wielding heroine
✔️Snarky boy sorcerer hero who calls her a "feral librarian"
✔️Sentient magical books
✔️Magical governments
✔️Demon companions
✔️Swoony and sweet romance
✔️Casual inclusion of aro and bisexual characters
I am slightly devastated that this is a standalone?! 😭 How and why?? I do know there is a follow up novella but still. 💔
