Sorcery and Small Magics
Sorcery and Small Magics | Maiga Doocy
20 posts | 9 read | 9 to read
From debut author Maiga Doocy comes the charming tale of an impulsive sorcerer and his curmudgeonly rival as they venture deep into a magical forest in search of a counterspell that can break the curse between themonly to discover that magic might not be the only thing pulling them together. Leovander Loveage is a master of small magics. He can summon butterflies with a song or turn someones hair pink by snapping his fingers. Though such minor charms dont earn him much respect, anything more elaborate always blows up in his face, and so Leo vowed long ago never to use powerful magic again. That is, until a mishap with a forbidden spell binds Leo to obey the commands of his longtime rival, Sebastian Grimm. Grimm is Leos complete oppositerespected, exceptionally talented, and absolutely insufferable. The only thing they can agree on is that revealing the curse between them would mean the end of their respective magical careers. They need a counterspell, and fast. Chasing rumors of a powerful sorcerer with a knack for undoing curses, Leo and Grimm enter the Unquiet Wood, a forest infested with murderous monsters and dangerous outlaws alike. To break the curse, they will have to uncover the true depths of Leos magic, set aside their long-standing rivalry, andmuch to their horrorwork together. Even as an odd spark of attraction flares between them.

I really enjoyed this book but didn't realize until the end that we wouldn't get a wrap up some key points and that there would be a sequel... that doesn't seem to be out yet.

But I did enjoy this one.... it felt kinda like cozy fantasy but with distinctly more plot than they normally have. Will definitely pick up the sequel and I dearly hope Sybilla shows up again.

This is the rest of my reading pile for June. Can I finish it? We'll see. An awful lot of this month was taken up by manga, but I've still made a sizeable dent in the novels I'd put aside to read.

I enjoyed this a lot in the end, though I only really settled into it today. I am agog at the developments at the end, and really want more of the story so we can get more of this slow burn.

Also, this was my #DoubleSpin and that's a blackout for #BookSpinBingo as well!

Ah, friends, my tiny skull and I are loving SORCERY AND SMALL MAGICS! One of the blurbs calls it Ghibliesque and this is entirely accurate. I‘m excited to wolf down the last 60 pages tonight.

In other news, I‘ve gone a week without infecting the household with my eye cold, so I figure my hand sanitization regimen is strong enough for the Real World (combined with a mask). I ventured out today and bought a TOOTHBRUSH and some FROZEN FRUIT! Whee!

I love your list Rachel! I‘ve read 2 already (Veronica Roth & Emily Wilde). I bailed for now on Running Close to the Wind but maybe I‘ll give it another try.

A lot of great sounding books on your list. The tagged was the only one currently on my TBR, so I‘ll probably start with that one. But I‘m going to give all the ones pictured a try in January!

Also, I‘m super excited to be matched with you again after 4 years! 💚💚

#auldlangspine 2025

rachelsbrittain Aww yay! I was really excited to see we were matched again too! There are several on your list that were already on my tbr and a lot or others that look really interesting! I'm going to post the ones I'm planning to focus on in January soon 😊 7mo
Chelsea.Poole I have this one currently checked out and looking forward to it: 7mo

Sorcery and Small Magics by Maiga Doocy was my only five star read of the month, so an easy pick for October. Unfortunately, I think Anxious People beats it out to the semi-final spot.

CSeydel Looking good! 8mo
rachelsbrittain I feel like I can't even be mad about this since I'm the one that recommended Anxious People to you in the first place 😅 8mo
sebrittainclark @rachelsbrittain There's a very good chance that the final showdown will be books you recommend to me. 8mo

Rivals Leo and Grimm have to work together, which wouldn't be ideal on a normal day, but due to an accidental curse Leo now has to obey his rival's every command. And as if using forbidden magic wasn't enough to undo the curse they have to go into the Unquiet Wood, a forbidden forest full of monsters and lethal flora. There they might find a legendary sorcerer who can undo the curse with a counterspell, or they ⬇️

julesG might die trying. And no, they cannot ask their teachers, because that would get them expelled.

I really enjoyed this first book in a new series. The writing and pacing of this debut novel were good and kept my attention throughout the story.

I'm looking forward to the next book in this series.

5/5

Leo and Grimm have notoriously cannot get along. But when they're partnered together in a class and accidentally place a curse on Leo, they're forced to journey into the Unquiet Wood, to try to find a cure.

I loved this book so much. The magic system and the characters are wonderful, and I really look forward to future books revealing more of the mysteries of the world, and to see how the relationship between Leo and Grimm evolves.

Rival sorcerers are forced to work together when one of them accidentally places an obedience curse on the other. If anyone discovers the curse, they'll be expelled or even imprisoned. With the effects of the curse growing ever worse, they'll have to venture into the dangerous woods and confront what exactly it is that makes them hate each other so much. 5 wonderfully gay stars for the enemies to lovers cozy fantasy of my dreams 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
