3.5 ⭐ This book is cozy enough to make me feel the magic of October. I loved some of the characters (I won't name them to avoid spoilers except for Jinx and Ariadne bc they're so cute and I loved them so much they make the story even cozier).
I guess the pacing in the first half was a little slow for me and there are scenes that also seemed unnecessary which only dragged the exposition longer before even getting to Belle's trial. Also the romance was a bit lacking, the buildup was there it just didn't reach the peak I was hoping for.
The writing style was not an issue because it was simply beautiful. I connected with Belle when her Nan showed up. Their conversation struck a chord in me and it was where I deeply sympathized with Belle and also appreciated how Nan's words brought comfort in me. It was brief but nonetheless touching.
Overall, I enjoyed this one. It was the perfect ending for my booktober challenge.
The perfect witchy cozy read 🧙🏼🐈⬛I really enjoyed this one, particularly once we got into the 'October days' where Bella began to re-learning the magic. I enjoyed seeing the relationships Bella had with those who believed in her and helped to bring out the best in her, from her Mam and grandmother, to her best friend and even the shop assistants and Violet. The relationship with Arty was lovely to follow, and I loved the final outcome of it. The world building was described well and easy to follow as we flicked between the way of the witches and everyday life. I loved that I could easily picture everything as it happened and found that the dialogue scenes were realistically written. There were a number of times I had to laugh over what was said!This was a cute light read that I enjoyed whilst curled up with a blanket and warm drink on a cold autumn evening.
super cozy and autumnal, I loved every second! The plot was easy to follow but still twisty and the subtle chemistry between Rune and Belle was adorable
Loved this book.Am going to make this my entire personality. I want to live in this world, be friends with Belle and have my own Grimoire. A must read if you love cosy books, an enchanting wold and lovely friendships.The details of this story are amazing.It felt like a visit to my late grandmothers house and to be able to live in that time period again. I want more!!! Cannot wait for her second book to come out.
