This was such a fun read. I kinda loved that the FMC wasn’t the most likeable of all the characters. The world the author creates is so immersive and left me wanting more. Fingers crossed this becomes a series. 🤞🏻
A slow start that picked up and became a really good read. I loved Meep! For sure wish they had been in it more. I'm excited to read the next book.
This was a very cute book. Books that pertains, magic, flowers, & gardens are my forte. I would even recommend this book for pre-teens.
This book gets an automatic 10/10 just for the way librarians are portrayed. As a librarian myself, I am happy to suspend belief over the way librarians do their work in fantasy novels (in contemporary books is another story), but The Spellshop hit the nail on the head so hard I was almost convinced the author worked in a library.
It's a lot of fun watching Kiela go from a strict rule-follower to diving right into illegal magic almost immediately. The found-family, cottagecore vibes were excellent, and I liked how the side characters had complex backstories. The magic system was really interesting as well, especially the idea that intonation or inflection of the words in the spell could affect how it works - with some hilarious side effects.
There are only two things I didn't like:
1. The characters aren't described in much detail, so I was left completely clueless as to what most of them *Larran* looked like.
2. The romance was sweet and cute but a little...boring at times. Only a little bit, though!
Adjusting those two things would have made this book an 11/10, so it's not really a big deal in the grand scheme.
