Loved this! It was such a cozy, heartwarming read. It was the perfect balance of romance with a dash of fantasy, with the fantasy elements properly explained and fleshed out (which is often the issue I have with romantasy, though I'm not certain you can classify this as romantasy?) and the found family element was wonderful. Will definitely be reading more by this author and rereading this book at some point.

Sanguās writing was absolutely wonderful - very easy to read, with an excellent ebb and flow to the story that never left more bored and always left me eagerly reading more. Ianās character won my heart instantly, as did Kenās and their beautiful love storyš„¹
All the characters felt believable, and three dimensional - and donāt even get me started on Jamie and Mikaā¦they are perfect and I love them so much. Rosetta, Terracotta, and Altamira were just so well written - their personalities, dreams, quirks, quarrels- I just wanted to scoop them all into a hug and go on adventures with themš„¹
Also I really fucking want some of Mikaās tea!!!š«
Cannot recommend this book enough! A completely charming read.

Most of the things mentioned in the content warnings were things a character describes experiencing in the past. None of it was graphic but some of it was likeā¦really sad and could remind readers of similar personal trauma - therefore I mention the warnings. Overall this is a light read, but these things are mentioned.chrisb913's review against another edition

I think the kids were my favorite part. The way she wrote them to be open and honest and just express themselves was a joy to read. I also adored Ian as this lovable grandpa of this little family that just inactive these crazy plans and is constantly being brought back down to earth by his sweet mellow husband in Ken.
I will definitely be checking out some of Sangu's other works as this was just a delight to read.
