I dnf this book. I made it half-way, for what it's worth, but I couldn't get into it.

For the most part, this isn't a cozy mystery. It says it is, but it isn't. I also don't know if the book is wanting to be a cozy fantasy or high-fantasy. It's both--and I think that's okay--but the writing isn't clear enough that you know it's both. The only "cozy" thing in the story is the romance and the bookstore/tea store. So...take that for what it's worth.

I also felt a lot of influences from Legends & Lattes, but not as great.
