Sea of Charms

"“Sometimes just surviving is heroic enough” Another ‘Spellshop’ cozy fantasy novel narrated by Caitlin Davies is a perfect way to spend a weekend. Sarah Beth Durst has done it once again! We start this adventure with supply runner Marin, her boat Silver, and the majestic sea serpent, Perri. She is soon joined by Ree, a sailor shrub, and Dax, a musical prodigy. Sea of Charms is a breath of fresh salty sea air. It is a beautiful story of healing from past trauma, following your dreams, and found family. I did find this story a bit heavier than the first two books. Marin was exposed to the revolution in Alyssium much more than Kiela and Terlu. Our cast is incredibly loveable and full of personality. I’ve been dying for more story with Ree since meeting the brave wax myrtle in The Enchanted Greenhouse. Also, Caitlin Davies singing Ree’s sea shanties is the cutest and makes the audiobook an absolute must for me. Thank you to Macmillan Audio and NetGalley for an ALC! This is a review of the audiobook."

Heartwarming cozy fantasy with adventure & kindnes

"Book rating: 4. 25⭐️ Genre: cozy fantasy Themes: found family, music, purpose, sailing, wanderlust 📖 Read if you like: Moss’d in Space, The Reimagining of Thornwood House Once again this series continues to charm with its imaginative world full of unique creatures, whimsical magic, joyous musicality, wonder and hope. It is a low stakes cozy fantasy that feels like pure delight to read. I could feel the salt spray on my face and hear the melodies of life forming throughout this story. It was an ode to the sea, freedom, and kindness, as well as treasuring the family we form just as the one we are born into. It was a heartwarming escape that left me with a smile on my face and a desire to revel in the power of art and music. In this book, Marin is sailing the seas as a supply runner with her sea serpent companion Perri. After escaping a manipulative marriage prospect and trading a fortune for a magically enhanced boat, Marin takes on a series of potentially dangerous jobs in the midst of the revolution. Having been punished for the crime of wanting a friend, first she transports a librarian turned into wood before returning to the capital to save a friend and perhaps a few others. Dax who refuses to leave any of his instruments behind is a musical prodigy with an innate goodness and open air towards the world and its wonders. He is kind and smiles with his whole body, and hopelessly in love with Marin. For her part, Marin soon discovers that his passion and good nature may be saving her just as much as he is saving her. There is a tie in to previous books in the Spellshop series including more adorable sentient plant life, but this can be read as a standalone. There is an undercurrent of threat driving events that take place in this book, but there is also a romance slowly blooming and a resounding message that doing the right thing, even if the personal cost is high, leads to a cascading effect of kindness. The relationship is the sort of sweet companionship and understanding that is given a lot of development to feel well earned and very satisfying. It was wholesome and gentle. And it leaves off on a hopeful note even in the darkest of times doing the right thing matters. Thank you to Tor Publishing Group and Macmillan Audio for an eARC and ALC. I did a combination read and both formats were well suited to this story. The writing was once again thoughtful and easy to fall into with an imaginative landscape and fun group to lead us on a merry adventure. And may I just say any books with peach pie and adorable singing halophytes will always have my heart! 🎧 Caitlin Davies was a rockstar who created a crew that seamlessly interacted throughout the story. She added emotional weight and lighthearted banter in turn with unique voices that gave life to each of to the characters whether they had a big or small role to play. A really wonderful production that captured the spirit of the book within its tone and projection."
