What could be more cosy than reading short stories about the patron saints of grandparents?
Norrit and Hale make a Birthday wish that throw them into a new role of grandparenthood and in this book we follow them through a few adventures. It’s warm and comforting with a sprinkling of magic and feel good vibes. The adventures are a little on the light side in terms of action and there is quite a bit of repetition (certain world / technology descriptions). However, it’s to be expected with a collection of short stories that follow the same characters in the same world and I think it’s less of a problem if you’re reading this with children, as I’d expect. I particularly liked the balloon race story with the dynamics between the other characters and the bit of excitement it provoked! I’d recommend it as a sweet, easy read.
Thank you to the author, publisher and NetGalley for allowing me to read and review this ARC.
