This is a cozy cottagecore romantasy book, in the same vein as Legends and Lattes. I listened to the audiobook and it made me feel like it was written and narrated by Rapunzel from Tangled, it definitely added to the whimsy of the story. I felt like this was a little bit higher stakes than the average cozy fantasy but there’s still a happily ever after. The side characters were great, especially the plants which again added to the Disney vibes. There’s also found family and a bit of humour so overall really we’ll rounded in terms of theme. I think there’s enough characters that they could get a spin off but I’m not sure what the plot would be since it seems like most things were resolved. I would pick this up if your looking for your next fun cozy fantasy book
