Definitely a story to be set aside for a peaceful day. It's giving a simpler Legends and Lattes vibe that's perfect for upper middle school/high school. Personally I struggle with the cozy fantasy genre, as I like my fantasy to be more action-packed, but I think the characters and queer vibes made it more inviting. 

Fern the snake absolutely stole the show in every panel that he's in, love him, love his little snoot.

I think I would have enjoyed the story more if it had went a little bit deeper into some personal conflict or if there were more stakes. The resolution felt a little too easy and not really earned. 

Still, a great read for those who enjoyed The Tea Dragon series.
