About this listen
Perfect for fans of Travis Baldree and TJ Klune, The Spellshop by Sarah Beth Durst is a New York Times bestselling cosy fantasy tale full of stolen spellbooks, unexpected friendships, sweet jams and even sweeter romance.
'Reading this book was like sitting in the sun . . . a warm, peaceful delight of a novel' – Katherine Arden, author of The Bear and the Nightingale
Every home needs a little magic . . .
Kiela has always had trouble dealing with people, and as librarian at the Great Library of Alyssium, she hasn’t had to.
She and her assistant, Caz, a sentient spider plant, have spent most of the last eleven years sequestered among the empire’s precious spellbooks, protecting the magic for the city’s elite. But a revolution is brewing and when the library goes up in flames, Kiela and Caz steal whatever books they can and flee to the faraway island where she grew up. But to her dismay, in addition to a nosy – and very handsome – neighbour, she finds the town in disarray.
The empire has slowly been draining power from the island, and now Kiela is determined to make things right. But opening up her own spellshop comes with its own risks – the consequence of sharing magic with commoners is death. And as Kiela starts to make a place for herself among the townspeople, she realizes she must break down the walls she has kept so high . . .
From award-winning author Sarah Beth Durst, The Spellshop is a cottagecore cosy fantasy following a woman's unexpected journey through the low-stakes market of illegal spell-selling and the high-risk business of starting over.
'Sarah Beth Durst is the hidden gem of the fantasy world' – Book Riot

This book gives you a happy, warm loving feeling
I love this book so much that after finishing it I directly started listening to it again from the beginning.
The writer is an artist with words and paints a beautiful image in your mind. Your minds eye sees the beauty of the Islands beautiful flora, fauna, magical creatures and inhabitants. Underneath is the beautiful message that when you mean well and trust in people you can create a caring and loving community.
If the writer ever reads this review, Thank you for this beautiful book, and please write a lot more cozy fantasy books like this one!

Good cozy fantasy
Very enjoyable overall. I liked the writing. The narration was mostly good but it suffered somewhat from fluctuating volume levels.

A wonderful story
This book captured me from the first chapter. The story telling was cosy, intelligent, humorous and light. I will come back to it again and again.

Lovely world to get lost in
I've been looking for a book that is around a woman living a witchy life in the countryside and this is just that but with an interesting story line and characters.

Cozy fantasy read
It was a beautiful cozy read. If you like fantasy novels but don’t want to make a flowchart to follow the characters, then this is something you might enjoy. Easy to listen to and good story progression. Would recommend it if you’re trying to get out of a reading slump.

Not worth a credit but it’s ok
This book is like a frilly bit of nonsense… it’s ok if you want something light

I loved it!
what a great book. I loved it. the performance was done well. it wasn't overly dramatic, it had the necessary dramatisation though. the Characters were lovely and the occasional joke was very well timed. I enjoyed it immensely.
