5.0

This book, it was just a wonderful read. The characters are well fleshed out, with their own voices and their own story arcs. It is both cosy and perilous - a combination that should be hard to balance but is done with aplomb. The romances were heartwarming and heartbreaking, but not the main focus of the book - I am happy to have romances in books, but prefer it if they are woven in rather than stealing the limelight. I can't recommend this book enough and can't wait to read the rest of the series!
