Welcome to Litsy!

This wasn't for me. I loved the sound of a cosy queer cottagecore fantasy but struggled to stay interested.

Nothing clicked. I didn't really like the characters, I wasn't interested in the world or plot and I kept having to force myself to carry on reading.

There's also some controversy surrounding this book and the author's response to criticism.

Thanks to #NetGalley for the #ARC

I enjoyed this cozy fantasy romance. The characters were fun, even the ones that weren‘t well-developed (Yael‘s parents are practically mustache-twirling villain caricatures) and the fantasy elements (magic) seemed almost unimportant, as though the authors couldn‘t be bothered to really craft a fantasy world. Still, it was a good story, even if I‘m not sold on the idea of a sequel.

This cozy fantasy romance follows a plant witch trying to repay her parents' debts and save her town and the heir to the very family threatening her future who runs away to work at her greenhouse. Just pure sweetness. I loved the nonbinary representation and the explorations of different kinds of magic.

Yael is trying to escape the life their parents have planned. Margot is trying to save her family‘s business. Romance blossoms. Things become more complicated w/ a lost will, disapproving parents, & a patron not willing to let go.

Adorable! I wish the world building had been stronger, & I don‘t like time skips over important plot points. But I loved the characters, the setting was lushly green & cozy, & the romance was very sweet. 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑
