Clara always wanted to be a healer and she can’t wait to become a full witch. The only problem is that she can’t control her magic. It just won’t listen to her! When a terrible accident happens and she nearly looses her father, she asks her former childhood friend Xavier for help, they make a pact. He will teach her how to control her magic and she will give him her power after healing her father. But Xavier is so different now and seems to have so many secrets…
While reading this, I was often reminded of “Howls Moving Castle” but that’s ok because I love that movie. I really liked the concept of this book and the characters were also enjoyable. Especially Clara’s father was such a sweet person. The author made a great job describing the environment, so that you can really get lost in this world. I loved how the flowers were used to show feelings like love but also that they can hurt, too, being poisonous.
Overall a sweet fantasy book with a slow-burn romance and a bit of slice-of-life vibes. Very enjoyable!
