This will be Interesting by E B Asher
Resurrected heroes, new POVs, and a slow-burn, cozy quest full of mystery and mischief.
Pre-Reading Thoughts After loving the first book in the series, I was excited to dive back in. I was expecting a cosy adventure with personal stakes, a hint of mystery, and plenty of humour — and this one delivers all of that.
Post-Reading
As I thought… A charming, character-focused quest. Galwell, River, Celine, Queen Thessia, and the colorful new characters all bring energy and depth. The personal stakes are satisfying, the mystery is solvable without frustration, and the cozy fantasy world is full of fun details like horseball, masquerades, and magical grottos.
It surprised me by… Adding new POVs and sidelining some of the original favorites. It shifts the focus slightly, but in a way that enriches the story rather than overwhelms it. And yes — there are some spicy scenes, but nothing that upends the generally cosy, comedic, and warm vibe.
Overall Thoughts A slow-burn, hilarious, and heartwarming quest that balances mystery, friendship, and romantic tension. Fans of cozy fantasy and character-driven adventures will enjoy this one, whether you’re following the original crew or meeting the new recruits.
Tarot Pull 🃏 The Three of Cups (Harmonious Tarot) — Friendship, celebration, and the joy of adventure shared with a trusted crew. Galwell’s quest is messy, fun, and full of camaraderie — this card captures the heart of the story, with a touch of revelry and magic.
