“It’s not always enough to go looking for the place we belong. Sometimes we need to make that place.” - Sangu Mandanna.
The coziest of books. Potions and tea. A chill in the air. An old house (with a library!). Lots of baking.
Delightful? Absolutely. Romantasy? Only in the loosest sense. Readers: this is light on the Fantasy and on the Romance. The book doesn’t need either - which, I think, speaks to the success of Mandanna’s story.
We do have a grumpy, distrustful MMC (with a heart of gold) who loves books, though. Do with that what you will.
I’d recommend this to anyone as a first step —the smallest step — into the world of fantasy reading.
The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches is about family and community, the love we choose to give…and accept.
I challenge anyone to think of a sweeter, stronger “found family.” Where others have danger or tragedy that brought them together, this crew rallied around three orphaned witches to give them a home.
