This was a delightful cozy fantasy with exciting magic and creatures. I wanted way more world-building because everything we got was great! (The vibe felt similar to Shallan studying in the library in Words of Radiance, complete with jam lol.) The ending felt a little rushed and slightly convenient, but that also added to the charm in a way. I liked all the characters - as characters, because some, like Fenerer, I'd never want to meet in real life. I would definitely recommend this to fantasy fans or as a good gateway into fantasy. I thought the Groot cactus, Meep, was a little too silly and would've preferred if we just stuck with Caz, but that's probably just a personal preference. I would definitely read more books in this world!
