The main characters are delightful and you want them to get over their nonsense to get together. But there is both too much world building in some places and not enough in others. The book is about 60 pages too long in the middle. But the end will make you cry both happy and sad tears.

Guarded, stable, predictable Daphne feels like every oldest daughter trying to keep it together. You’ll fall for adorable tattooed golden retriever boyfriend in Miles. You want to root for these characters to get their lives together.

Whimsical, charming, interesting. Different from your normal wizard fantasy books. Pacing is a little slower but that’s part of the charm.
