One of my September listens was The Honey Witch, which has all the things you’d want in a magical cozy fall read. While the premise was great, the execution left me wanting. Filled with cottagecore vibes, this fantasy romance read more as a YA and/or a cozy read than anything else. So while the story itself was…fine; I never full felt invested in any of our characters, the plot, and thought the storyline felt a bit forced. I’m also still not 100% sure on the bases of the ‘magic’ and that always is just a let down for me.

I’m glad I did a buddy read otherwise I probably would have DNF’d. The audiobook itself was also fine, the narrator I liked but again just couldn’t seem to focus or care much about the story.
