Ever wonder who takes care of all the magical creatures you read about in fantasy? Well, the answer to that is veterinary witches. This first volume takes you through the day of two apprentices who are learning from the doctor and nurse of the Willows Whisper Veterinary Practice. When an unexpected birthing situation comes up, the apprentices are left to take care of the animals. The only issue is, one of them has a virus that is starting to infect the other. It’s up to them to protect the animals and keep things under control!

I absolutely loved this. The creatures were so precious and I really enjoyed that the story felt like a realistic situation that could happen. I’m sure a vet has had to run off for an emergency delivery of cows or horses and the volunteers and students were left to take care of the animals. The only difference is that they are magical animals and they deal with potions. Fully of whimsy and a bunch of different life lessons, this is a great read for any audience.

A delightful and fun book about two apprentice veterinarians (and all that can go wrong in a day XD).

I have had my eye on these two books (yes, two, look forward to the review for book 2, coming soon) for a while now and finally had the time to read them. I just love book featuring magic and animals so EEP!

Meet Clarion and Annette. I took an instant liking to Clarion, but it took me a while to like/get used to Annette. I know, I know, I shouldn’t judge people by how they look, but I definitely did, because Annette looked so angry and frustrated 99% of the time. I am thankful we did get some more insights on her and that is also why I started to like her. See that her outside look is just like the MC from Toradora. XD

I just loved the magical vet setting and I loved seeing the girls do their best in their training. I was so happy with how Clarion wanted to give that bear a chance instead of following orders. That had me smiling and made me like this girl even more. I loved how at first it was really just vet and training, but then when the doctor (loved this character) and the nurse (unsure about this one) leave things get so much more exciting and I found myself going through the book even faster. I won’t spoil a lot, but it involves a bunny with a certain ailment making a whole mess of things. I loved seeing the girls work together and become closer and maybe even friends.

I just ADORE the colourscheme that was used. The art was also tons and tons of fun. OK, again, it took me a while to get used to Annette due to how she was drawn, but other than that the rest was wonderful.

All in all, there is still tons of things to explore, like Annette’s family, but also more animals. I cannot wait!
