I love everything about this book. From the title to the blurb, to the story and characters, Violet Thistlewaite Is Not a Villain Anymore was exactly what I was hoping it would be- a story I couldn’t wait to pick up and fall into. It’s cozy, adorable, and just the right amount of sweet and spicy. My favorite is the theme of redemption and finding out who you are and what you want. Emily Krempholttz debut had me falling for Violet and Nathaniel, along with Dragon’s Rest. I want more murderous plants, small town, magic, and rock goblins. Take me back to Dragon’s Rest for more adventures! Emily Krempholtz’s Violet Thistlewaite Is Not a Villain Anymore is the perfect fall/winter read to binge!
