Sorcery and Small Magics by Maiga Doocy

5.0

I would like to thank the publisher and NetGalley for allowing me to read and honestly review an advanced reader’s copy of this book.

I love picking up a book with no expectations and then absolutely devouring it.

Sorcery and Small Magics is an incredibly smooth read. There is nothing overly complicated about the plot or the world building, but there are still real stakes and twists that had me on the edge of my seat. Magic gone wrong, journeying through a murderous forest, yet all of that is background to the core of the story; the relationship between two very different characters with a very well-written relationship arc.

This author knows how to do a slow burn correctly. I have such a problem with enemies to lovers romances lately because they do rarely feel believable and they always feel a little toxic. Yet here, their relationship grows very naturally into begrudging respect and even friendship. (Mostly due to that delightful forced proximity trope)

I can’t wait for the next instalment of this and definitely recommend picking this one up!
