Sera's relationship with herself and her magic really resonated with me, but I was really disappointed with the ending. Her losing her magic again felt like tragedy for tragedy's sake. There were absolutely more options to solve the issue than what was explored, so it felt a little cheap to me. I adored the found family though, and I think Sangu Mandanna was trying to emphasize that Sera's home and family were more important to her identity than her magic. I don't know, I just feel like it could've been done better :(

Sometimes you just need a reading sorbet - a break from violence and bad feelings and whatever is bothering you at the moment. This was that book. It was funny and life-affirming, without being saccharine. A lovely diversion, and I loved the characters. Wouldn't mind a sequel.

This was our bookclub Feb. '26 selection and we really enjoyed it. The main character's struggles after losing most of her magic were realistically presented. The quirks of the inn letting some folks find it and while others weren't allowed in was a unique twist. Great characters - especially the zombie chicken!
