A very sweet, perfect for fall book. I’m not one for spice and there were a fair share of spicy scenes, but I still enjoyed the stories and the characters. Maybe a little too much pining, but it works for the most part.

I loved this book as a kid and decided to re-read it. It’s just as lovely as I remember. The fantasy elements are wonderful, introducing so many fantastic characters and mythical creatures. It’s an easy read, as it’s meant for younger kids. But I loved it for the fantasy and the nostalgia!
