A cozy fantasy brimming with magic, found family, and sweet romance, set in a seaside town with secrets to tell. Perfect for fans of Legends & Lattes, Emily Wilde's Encyclopaedia of Faeries, and The Spellshop.
After years of conscripted service to a corrupt king, Evelyn Rosewood seizes a chance to earn her freedom. With little more than an enchanted satchel and her feathered familiar, she sets out on a quest to dispel a mysterious blight that has shrouded a once-thriving harborside town in despair.
However, upon her arrival in the bustling port city, rumors of a dark curse mingle with the salty breeze, and the town's initial warmth gives way to suspicion.
Aided by a handsome, albeit grumpy, herb merchant, Evelyn aims to heal more than just the vast farmlands. But with time, it appears she is not the only one keeping secrets. Can her magic mend the town's fractured past and open guarded hearts, including her own?
A Drop of Fortune is the first novel in a series of standalone cozy fantasy romances by Danielle Garrett.
My Review:
I had such a great time reading this book! Cozy fantasy is just so enjoyable to read, and this one was no exception! I loved getting to know this world and these characters, and I had such a great time reading Evelyn's story, watching as she found a home in this town!
Evelyn is the King's Witch, she has 7 years that she has to work for him-but he's corrupt, and what he wants from her goes against her principles. So when she's offered this opportunity to fix this blight, she takes it. Which turns out to be one of the best decisions in her life.
Watching as she found her footing in this town, with a distrust for witches because they believe one cursed the land and caused the blight, yeah, that makes her investigation in solving it more complicated. But the people also need her, she's a good medic, and I loved watching her find her place!
Of course, this book is a cozy fantasy, so the stakes aren't life or death, but definitely hugely life-altering. There were still antagonists, like the attempts to make her leave town. Which made the ending all the more satisfying to read!
Loved reading this book and I can't wait to see where the series goes from here!
