I find myself  very surprised for liking this book as much as I did. Usually, fairy stories are too violent for my liking, but this one, though it did have violence in it, was more charming than anything, and that had everything to do with our maybe neurodivergent lead protagonist. She was adorable, full of heart and courage, smart, outspoken, determined, and ethical. Also loved her dog Shadow.

meticulous note-taking, unreadable expressions, rich world building, stoic-person-A-oblivious-to-golden-retriever-person-B's-affections trope, and FUN. happy to say i was giggling and kicking my feet. chef's kiss

This was mostly cozy except for one part so I can’t 100% recommend it as cozy fiction but I loved, loved loved it. I’m so glad there are two more books in this series!!!
