A Witch's Guide to Magical Innkeeping

a witch’s guide to magical innkeeping by sangu mandanna is a cozy fantasy that feels like a warm cup of tea. it follows sera swan, a once-powerful witch who lost most of her magic resurrecting her beloved great-aunt and was exiled by the elitist witch guild. now she runs the batty hole inn, an enchanted refuge filled with quirky guests, a talking fox named clemy, and a whole lot of heart. when magical historian luke larsen arrives with his autistic sister, posy, sera sees a chance to restore her magic. but what unfolds is a gentle story about found family, healing, and self-acceptance rather than a high-stakes quest. the magic is soft, the humor is charming, and the romance is a slow-burn subplot that never overwhelms the story. i loved this book. it was incredibly cozy and a quick, comforting listen. the audiobook narrator was fantastic. i adored the quirky characters, the thoughtful inclusion of an autistic child, and watching sera grow, stand up for herself, and choose the life she’s built. 5/5 stars and highly recommend 🥰🩷
