Overall, I was very disappointed with this book. I was intrigued by the cover, since it looks like Howl's kitchen. It seemed to be a very generic underdog becomes the hero story, but with a bunch of humorous scenes smashed in.

Then there was a thread of romance that was way to much of a slow burn for me. I won't be continuing the series to the next book. Which, by the way, is called The House Witch 2??!! Why not call it something different?
