I couldn't put this book down and did not want it to end!

An absolutely wonderful cozy fantasy with a grumpy/sunshine achillean romance that I was totally rooting for. The DnD-style world is brilliantly realised, with the action all taking place on a street full of artificer shops, including the two rival potion makers. The collection of store owners functions as a wonderful queer found family with great diverse representation. This is a lovely heartwarming book, 4 stars. The only reason I didn’t give it 5 was because of some sad character backstory that hit a little too close to home for me, but that’s a personal thing. Highly recommend this to everyone.

This book was ok at best. I liked the main characters, especially once the story moved past the kind of silly and pointless rivalry and on to the collaboration part of the story. But a lot of plot points were not integrated especially well into the story. I also felt like the book could have ended better.

The worst thing was when Ambrose and his friend Dawn were searching dangerous caves for potion ingredients. They had an argument and in response she used their return-home portal and abandoned him in a dangerous cave, alone. I honestly hardly have words for how much that horrified me (I admit I may be relating a bit too much to Ambrose in this particular situation), and the resolution of it is even worse. Ambrose made it back fine, but he soon decided that he needed to apologize to her, which I simply find breathtakingly awful. He did literally nothing wrong. Their argument was even because she wanted them to do something unsafe! (

I loved this book. The cast of characters is fun and well developed, you really feel like you are a part of a family by the end of the book. Everything from the characters to the imagery to the world building everything is so well written, I will be thinking about this book for a while. I usually don't like slow burns and this one is quite a slow burn, but I really enjoyed it. If you like found family, lighthearted fantasy reads then I highly recommend this book. My only complaint is that it didn't last longer. I received an ARC and am voluntarily writing this review.

I don't usually like enemies-to-lovers romances, but this book was actually really lovely. Eli is new in town and sets up a potion shop right across the street from Ambrose's The Griffin's Claw and so the rivalry and animosity begins. Unexpectedly they land a commission brewing a potion for mayor's daughter's birthday, on which they need to work together as well as spend time together. I enjoyed the world building and the motley crew of lovable characters, especially Tom the automaton. Ambrose and Eli were soooo cute together. This was such a delightful read. Oh, and the illustrations were really good too.
I received a free copy of this book from the author through LibraryThing Early Reviewers. I'm leaving this review voluntarily.
