So Perfect!

This was a perfectly sweet and cozy fantasy that hits all the right notes to leave the reader feeling warm and fuzzy happy! Or at least me anyways. I was very surprised to find out that this was a debut novel and I will definitely be watching this author to see what else she will come up with though it might be hard to top this story. I fell right in love with Violet, taken as a child by the evil Shadowfade to be molded into the Thornwitch, a powerful mage that can level towns via strangling vines or bogs to sink them. Very impressive! Though I was just as impressed by her new start, free to actually follow her dreams which include a flower shop, and mayhap a little get together with a certain grumpy alchemist next door who also is her landlord. :) Her and Nathaniel's little war of words on the sign and their slow burn to something else was so sweet and sassy! Of course you have to have a bit of danger to keep things moving and it is just the right amount and of course it wouldn't be complete without a showdown of change and realizations and then happy ever after! I think the best message this book had was that it is great to decide to do better but it doesn't mean wiping out your whole past. You are who you are because of your past and people need to accept that you have made mistakes and are not perfect but if you are trying to change, then things can work out. Such a wonderful story with fantastically interesting characters and sweetness with rock goblins, found puppies, new love, and alchemical creations (would love to try that sweet dreams one!) and flowers galore (plus a certain homicidal vine that I would love to meet...from a distance). Many thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the chance to get lost in this perfect cozy fantasy!
