Text: 5/5 A perfect fantasy which manages a cosy feel and weaves magic with several importance real world topics - including poverty/privilege and environmental issues. The world building delivers us straight into the middle of Kirkhyrst a modern city with an added sprinkle of magic - inhabited by a quirky mix of humans, shifters and vampires. The city has harnessed the natural magic in the world and uses it to enhance their daily lives. Along the way we are introduced to the Ratatoskr who live in harmony with nature in rural Ruhann shunning the modern ways of the city. The main characters - Lailu (Ratatoskr) and Daisy (human) - are instantly loveable and relatable despite their magical lives facing many challenges along the way supported by a unique bunch of supporting characters. The whole book was stunning - flowing beautifully from start to finish it was difficult to put down.
