The fact that I am giving this book 5 stars even though it is in my least favorite pov (first person with fourth wall breaks) is not something i expected when i started it. To be honest i almost immediately put it down with no intention to pick it back up just because i dislike fourth wall breaks that much. But im so glad that i decided to push through my personal issues and continue reading because i absolutely fell in love with this book.
Leo is cocky and sunshine personified and turns that up to 100 to run away from his trauma.
Grimm is a storm cloud hiding a soft heart and trauma of his own.
And together they’re a hot mess. And I adore them.
Sorcery and Small Magics is engaging and whitty and whimsical but also deals with a lot of internal conflict and tension the main characters have. I found it to be balanced nicely and never hit a lull in my reading journey which is phenomenal for a debut.
I’m thrilled that I was gifted an early copy from NetGalley but I’m devastated that I’ll have to wait for the second book!
