Reviews
Absolute perfection! This book is like the finest pastry, layered with flavour and bursting with happiness! It's gloriously sweet and extraordinarily delightful! I loved every single page! * Sarah Beth Durst, New York Times bestselling author of The Spellshop *
This is what cozy fantasy is all about. Fresh love, fantastic friendship, a dash of unpredictable magic . . . and catdragons * Rebecca Thorne, Sunday Times bestselling author of Can't Spell Treason Without Tea *
With sweet humor, delightful characters, and a touch of romance, The Keeper of Magical Things is an enchanting tale full of whimsy and gentleness. I adored every minute of it! * Maiga Doocy, Sunday Times bestselling author of Sorcery and Small Magics *
The Keeper of Magical Things is the perfect cosy fantasy, with a healthy dose of sweet sapphic romance and gentle humour to round things out. (Also, an adorable dragoncat. That part is very important.) I deeply enjoyed every inch of this novel. In fact, I think I'm going to take my next vacation in Shpelling * Olivia Atwater, author of Half a Soul *
A refreshing fantasy adventure written for anyone with a heart. Full of delightful twists and turns, fights with sentient objects, and scheming mages * John Wiswell, Nebula Award-winning author of Someone You Can Build a Nest In *
'Healing, wholesome, heartwarming, and full of fun and whimsy that glimmers off the page, The Keeper of Magical Things is an inviting tale of self-acceptance with a charming sapphic love story. Come for the catdragon and the talking teakettle - stay for the fireside coziness! * Jules Arbeaux, author of Lord of the Empty Isles *
Joyful, heartwarming, and utterly charming, Leong's cozy fantasy debut is a cup of hot (fortune-telling) tea straight to the soul. Readers will delight in road-tripping with Tao, her found family, and their adorable animal companions in this whimsical, healing tale * Amelie Wen Zhao, New York Times and international bestselling author of Song of Silver, Flame Like Night on The Teller of Small Fortunes *
The Keeper of Magical Things is a story about finding yourself and finding love in the most unexpected of places (a sleepy village called Shpelling). It has everything you can possibly want from a cosy fantasy: a fish-out-of-water main character, an icy love interest with a secret heart of gold, a tonne of outlandish magical objects, heaps of humour, and, obviously, a catdragon. A hilarious, cosy page-turner * Genoveva Dimova, author of Foul Days *
The Teller of Small Fortunes is a warm and lovely book that will soothe your heart. Its gentleness and coziness are such a delightful gift * India Holton, international bestselling author of The Wisteria Society of Lady Scoundrels on The Teller of Small Fortunes *
If you're running a little low on serotonin, trust me: brew yourself a hot drink, curl up with this treasure of a tale, and thank me later! It's the warmest, loveliest book I've read in ages * Sangu Mandanna, author of The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches on The Teller of Small Fortunes *
