Reader Reviews

What Readers Are Saying

★★★★★

This book was everything I hope for when I reach for cozy fantasy: warm, kind, and full of heart. Trinx's journey is deeply personal, but also universal.

At a time where positive, healthy, and trans inclusive stories are needed, this gem is a bright spot of queer joy, nestled into the cozy fantasy genre.

★★★★★

I loved Distilled Magic, but I really loved this one! It is just the definition of a cozy fantasy.

I love the depth of the depiction of chosen family in this book ... for those of us who've built one, it's believable and really nice to see in writing.

This was such a great cozy comfort read! Anyone who owns a cat will giggle about the cat in this.

The Author

Hi, I'm Alex.

I write cozy fantasy novels about belonging, transformation, and the magic of building community with the people you choose. I live in the Pacific Northwest with my family and three cats, all of whom have opinions about the writing process.

The Aberterrene series was imagined from a simple wish: to write warm, joyful stories where everyone finds somewhere they belong.
