Reviews with content warning for Death of parent - The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches

A warm hug in book form. This story is healing, this story is tender, and this story is beautiful—an invitation to take a chance on love, even if it opens you up to the potential for heartbreak. It highlights the importance of relationship, and of kindness. I loved every second of it.

The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches is a heartwarming, cozy book about finding yourself and and your family. It’s a book about belonging, and its sparkling magic feels like a farm hug by the fire.

I adored this book! It’s so cozy, which is my favorite kind of fantasy, and the balance of romance with the other aspects of the book was beautifully done. This book makes me want to drink a warm cup of tea and return to my personal witchy phase.

The characters in this book are so special, and their impacts on each other are so wonderful to read. Mika and Jamie are precious, as are the three witchlings and the rest of the Nowhere House crew. I love the little coven they build together, and how they build each other up.

This book was absolutely beautiful, I can’t wait to read more from Sangu Mandanna. 4.5 stars.

I took longer than usual to read this book because I truly savored every word. I’d rewind the audio and listen to sections again just in case I missed something. I loved every bit of the characters, setting and story. Definitely a new favorite that I will listen to again.

4.0

This was quite enjoyable, all the more so because the protagonist and her love interest are in their 30s, and so have rather more practice at communicating like reasonable humans than most romance protagonists. I also enjoyed the actual romancing, though it's a bit more of a slow burn than I really prefer.
