Tempests and Tea Leaves is a delightful blend of magical charm, sharp banter, and slow-burn romance—think Bridgerton (season 2!) meets fae fantasy, with a dash of Pride and Prejudice. Rachel Morgan has truly crafted a world where magic is everything, but it’s also about navigating society’s expectations, personal growth, and, of course, falling in love when you least expect it.
Tee Harlowe’s Potions and Prejudice was adorable. Imagine Pride and Prejudice but with potions, magic, cottagecore vibes, and a tiny anxious dragon named Edgar—yeah, it’s as cute as it sounds.
From the enchanting world of Wilderise in “The Good and the Green” to the court intrigue of “The Folk of the Air” series, each story offered its own blend of magic and mystery in this February 2024 wrap-up. What were your standout reads last month?
Book 1 of the Wilderise series, The Good and the Green by Amy Yorke offers a cozy fantasy with a romantic touch and cottagecore ambiance. Set in a magical land, the story follows Alison Lennox navigating newfound property, a charming town with a vine problem, and the enigmatic Keir Ainsley. Despite a slow start, the narrative gains momentum, revealing a delightful charm reminiscent of a Gregorian historical romance novel.
