Wow what an amazing palette cleanser. I’ve never ready cozy fantasy before and wasn’t sure if I would enjoy it, but this has certainly set the bar high.
This book made me feel like I was curled up in a cozy chair, by a fireplace, with a blanket and hot cocoa (or insert preferred hot beverage here) while it snowed peacefully outside.
The narrator really helps to set the mood with her calm, dulcet tone. Honestly, she was the perfect narrator for this book. I loved all the characters, and became enthralled with the story as we discovered more about the characters, the community, and were introduced to a few mysteries and challenges. I feel these mystery elements were just the right amount to keep the plot moving along. Most mysteries were solved but some will undoubtedly allow the reader to join the characters as they discover more about their own histories and abilities in subsequent books.
Honestly, this world was expertly crafted to welcome the reader and allow us to escape as we’re introduced to the residents of the pentacle and learn how a positive and collaborative approach can be quite successful. This is a great book to read after a long day at work. I can’t wait to see where the adventure leads our intrepid sleuths.
