This slow paced book was such a great cozy/fall read!! Easy to read and a nice change from my normal reading. 

VERY COZY. This book I was able to really slow down and simply enjoy

This book is cozy, wholesome and an easy read. It appeals very much to my love of a dumb joke, and a warm hug. If you’re looking for something a bit silly and lighthearted, with minimal drama, this is the book for you.

The tone of voice drove me nuts. I couldn’t continue with it.

I DNF this book bc I did not enjoy the voice of the author or the pace of the story. From the second sentence, I was jarred from this story and could never dip back in. Shame, too, because the first sentence was so enticing.

Didn't like the main character, the narrator, or the overall tone of it.

A breezy cozy fantasy. The writing is above average but the humour doesn't always hit the mark. Still enjoyable.
