There were things I really liked about this. It was nice and cozy. It was just longer than it needed to be and was quite slow and boring in parts.

3.5 stars.

A cosy fantasy read with magical creatures and a sentient plant, with a splash of romance on the side.
The romance was actually my least favourite part of the book however, I didnt mind Larran himself, but the romance felt a bit tacked on for convenience. Did enjoy the librarian and research parts, and setting up a new life in a small village.

There are some bits that I don't like, some of it felt a bit rushed and oversimplified, but all in all it's a lovely, warm book. It does make me happy :-) ...more

3.5ish. This was cozy and lovely with likeable characters (especially the talking spider plant!) but a little slow and too low-stakes for me right now. The premise sounded great and I thought that's what I wanted after a long streak of nonfiction and dramatic dragon worlds, but I needed a little more plot and less gardening/jam making. ...more
