Umm, okay… so A Harvest of Hearts was such a fun, whimsical, FABULOUS read! I will definitely be picking up Andrea Eames’s books in the future. It reminded me of a less gritty Kell Woods’s novel, though don’t get me wrong, there were some grittier parts to this novel. I’m hoping someone does a special edition of this one so I can snag it.
This standalone novel follows Foss, a ‘plain’ butcher’s daughter just trying to make it through her everyday life. Her village is visited by the sorceresses that take (more or less willingly) people’s hearts for their magics. When the first sorcerer comes through, he accidently and unknowingly takes a part of Foss’s heart. Foss follows him back to the city, where the real adventure begins.
Please read if you like the following:
✨️ Howl’s Moving Castle (specifically the castle)
✨️ Grumpy MMCs that are both charming and frustrating
✨️ Clever FMCs that are able to wrestle out less obvious solutions and “think sideways”
✨️ A talking cat being a cat
Thank you to Erewhon for the Advanced Reader Copy of A Harvest of Hearts in exchange for a fair and honest review.
