This is a cosy & charming short read truly felt like a love letter to readers. It holds a unique take on portraying interesting and reflective perspective into modern day reading themes (speed reading, re-reading and bulk publishing) as well as undertones of processing grief.

The characters were loveable in their own way and the story was very well paced in my opinion. The plot was a balance of intrigue of challenge in the way it thinks whilst also a sense of cosiness any book lover could enjoy. 

My only critique is that  whilst writing created a very vivid sense of magic , it does feel slightly cheesy and leans more into what I feel is a YA type book. That being said this could very well be due to the translation to English. 

Overall I enjoyed this book and am glad to have listened to it. Will need to keep my eyes peeled for a bargain physical copy as I could see myself rereading as a nod to why I enjoy reading.
