![[This book had everything I was looking for in a cozy fantasy. I was impressed with the plot, the character depth and arcs, and the world-building.

I will be recommending this book as a number one go-to for fantasy readers of all kinds.]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:cmea7fw6o7m7xxu635kx3my2/bafkreihfnqyshziczzrtfzqgzaqspjxfh4csmtuvyhfleqnayu55sh74xy@jpeg)
