🎧 Note that I listened to the audio book of this, which may have swayed my opinion because it is a GREAT story to have read to you, and the narrator was delightfully soothing.

🍷 This comes across as a grown-up fairytale with vivid descriptions of wine and food thrown in for good measure. Set in the French countryside. Simple magic system. Mystery and clearing one's name as the central storyline. Not a lot of brain power required, but not boring either. Just an enjoyable late summer read, especially as part of the evenings getting cooler and breezy where I live.

🌾 -1 star because the romance was too much telling and not enough showing (honestly, it was hardly a part of the story) and because of the villains ridiculously long monologue. But regardless of that, I very much enjoyed this beginning to end.
