The food analogies in this are legitimately 🧑‍🍳💋

Charming, smirk worthy, and deliciously prose-tastic. It’s not technically a “cozy fantasy” (bc boy, oh, boy- the stakes are crazy awesome), but the MC’s personalities make it feel like it’s one?

I’d recommend this to my friends that love Emily Wilde's Encyclopaedia of Faeries and the Rivers of London series.

This is a strange plot to pitch.
It’s like Fantastic Beasts x The Seven Moons of Maali Almeida x Sherlock vibes. But it’s official, I’m starting a category called #HollywoodReady.

I love Isolde. Her no-nonsense personality was refreshing.
I love the absurdity and deep kindness of War.
I love how much they love each other unapologetically.

What a delightful way to kick off 2024.
Can’t wait to see how this series progresses.
