About this listen

Perfect for fans of Travis Baldree and TJ Klune, The Spellshop by Sarah Beth Durst is a 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.

Best book in years!

As soon as I finished it, I started it again. It was beautiful to be part of the amazing world imagined. I didn’t want it to finish. It was entertaining and engaging whilst feeling like a warm hug! I hope it becomes a series.

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!

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.

Good cozy fantasy

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

Beautiful and heartwarming

If there was ever a book to heal the ills of the broken world today then this is certainly it. Cozy and cottagecore to the very core it is a wonderfully relaxing and addictive read that leaves the reader yearning for more. If I could pick a book to live in right now then this would be top of my list! I have already pre-ordered the next title in this series without hesitation. Also, everyone needs a Kaz in their lives! ❤️

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.
