A review by hamalee
To Hive and To Hold by Amy Crook

2.5

For Pete's sake talk about a slow burn. Another review said this felt like fanfiction even though the characters are original, and that is very accurate.

There is absolutely zero conflict or plot. It's just 2 cinnamon rolls going about their life, developing a new relationship, and building family. There is A LOT of text dedicated to meals and snacks. Like, a lot. Too much really.  And many many words to not actually develop the details of the magic system here or the nuances of all the different community history/interactions. Which is a shame, because it has a lot of potential.
