À propos de cet audio
In the beloved tradition of Howl’s Moving Castle meets The House in the Cerulean Sea, a whimsical and unforgettable cozy fantasy about adventure, common sense, and the power of love, as a cheeky butcher's daughter, a befuddlingly handsome sorcerer, and his clever talking cat unlock magical secrets in the dark heart of their kingdom …
Everyone in Foss Butcher’s village knows what happens when the magic-workers come; they harvest human hearts to use in their spells. That’s just how life in her kingdom works. But Foss, plain, clumsy, and practical as a boot, never expected anyone would want hers.
When a sorcerer snags a piece of Foss’s heart without meaning to, she is furious. For once a heart is snagged, the experience is … well, unpleasant. So, Foss finds herself stomping toward the grand City to keep his enchanted House and demands that he fixes her before she keels over and dies, or whatever happens when hearts are Snagged.
But the sorcerer, Sylvester, is not what she expected. Petulant, idle, and new to his powers, Sylvester has no clue how to undo the heart-taking, or how to do much of anything really, apart from sulk. Foss’s only friend is a talking cat and even the House’s walls themselves have moods.
As Foss searches for a cure, she accidentally uncovers that there is much more to the heart-taking—and to the magic-workers themselves—than she could have ever imagined. …

does not match marketing
Well written and read with an intriguing concept and single plotline development. However, it should NOT be categorized as cozy fantasy or whimsical. It's a good read if you're expecting a heavier plotline. It's cool fantasy and magic with a dark theme where little is added to lighten or balance the foreboding mood. Foss, the lead, is a strong character that deals with body dysmorphia and ends up caught in unrequited love for more than half the story. The development and change of that relationship could have been more fully explored and developed in both characters instead of lightly touched on in the last quarter of the book and the epilogue. The talking cat is a steady and comforting presence and is the only reprieve from the constant self-deprecating main character and morose plotline we want to see resolved. There is a large amount of innocent death and loss that cannot be undone with the resolution. The resolution is there at the very end but so much more time could have been spent fleshing out the characters, their relationship, and the world, to balance out the heavy plot and reward both the characters and readers with more time and depth of understanding of the changes they went through. Again, NOT a cozy fantasy or whimsical. It's a magical fantasy with an intriguing plotline and some interesting characters and concepts.
