I really enjoyed this! It was a beautifully written (and cosy) cottage-core fantasy,  that sees our protagonist, Clara, overcome her own self doubt around her wild magic, and learn to finally embrace it. 

Clara was such a sweet and adorably introspective character who deserved all of the hugs. Seeing her at her most anxious and vulnerable (in the opening chapters) was a little bit heartbreaking, and really made me want to give her soo many hugs. 

But her personal journey was incredible and I loved seeing just how far she came, in learning to accept her powers and finally believe in herself. I also adored how supportive and caring her father was too! And really enjoyed the blossoming friendship/ relationship between Clara and Xavier. 

Overall, this is such an enjoyable coming of age fantasy; with a heartfelt message of love, friendship, self acceptance and hope that fans of cottage-core based stories (and Howl’s Moving Castle) should definitely consider checking out.
