설명
Leovander Loveage is a master of small magics.
He can summon butterflies with a song, or turn someone’s hair pink by snapping his fingers. Such minor charms don’t earn him much admiration from other sorcerers (or his father), but anything more elaborate always blows up in his face. Which is why Leo vowed years ago to never again write powerful magic.
That is, until a mix-up involving a forbidden spell binds Leo to obey the commands of his longtime nemesis, Sebastian Grimm. Grimm is Leo’s complete opposite—respected, exceptionally talented, and an absolutely insufferable curmudgeon. The only thing they agree on is that getting caught using forbidden magic would mean the end of their careers. They need a counterspell, and fast. But Grimm casts spells, he doesn’t undo them, and Leo doesn’t mess with powerful magic.
Chasing rumors of a powerful sorcerer with a knack for undoing curses, Leo and Grimm enter the Unquiet Wood, a forest infested with murderous monsters and dangerous outlaws alike. To dissolve the curse, they’ll have to uncover the true depths of Leo’s magic, set aside their long-standing rivalry, and—much to their horror—work together.
Even as an odd spark of attraction flares between them.

This book was kind of a disappointment and the more i think about it the more annoyed I am to be honest. It started really good and I was interested in the dynamic between the main characters and the magic system. I was also interested with the aspects of a control spell in a romance novel. Luckly it was not used in any upsetting ways but due to it and some other issues it made the romance feel like it was fabricated. Also by the time I hit the halfway point I realized that the story wasn't going anywhere and that the to leads still didn't really like each other. Then the book ends with a true love fixing a main plot point, a dissatisfing ending, and page that says there will be a second book. I don't think this book should be discribed as a romance or a cozy read to be honest. The only romance in the story was fabricated do to outside sources and I did not find any aspects of this story to be cozy due to the amount of angst. Because of this I personally dont think I will read the next book.
Such a fun story. There was a good balance of humor, character growth, and world-building. I enjoyed that all of the characters had some depth, even the minor ones. Some of the parts of the story felt a little drawn out perhaps, but it gave space for character growth. I really enjoy these forced proximity ones where characters have to realize that they've been judging people based on their own perception and not something the actual person has done wrong. <spoiler>I do hope we get to learn more about, or at least see, the forest creatures some more. They were so creepy/fun. Also, pretty sure Grimm is a liar, but i guess we will have to wait until book 2 to see. </spoiler>
Molto, molto carino! Inizialmente il ritmo della storia è stato piuttosto lento, spesso mi ha fatta deconcentrare, tanto è vero che ci ho messo tempo a leggere i primi capitoli.. MA POI.. il restante l'ho divorato in meno di un giorno per tutto ciò che avviene. C'è stato qualche refuso ma niente di che.
