    About this audiobook

    Arlo Rook has decided it’s time to move out of Garren Castle, home for orphans of all races, magical or not, at 100 years old.

    It’s not the first time he’s left home, but a setback landed the Hedge Witch in the hospital a year ago, and subsequently back to square one. Now he's ready to strike out on his own, despite his friend’s worries he's not ready.

    Thatch Phantom is an immortal, the last of his kind and perpetually bored. When he’s not closing interdimensional rifts and corralling trouble in the universe, he’s visiting his favorite city of all, Levena. No one remembers him, but he's made an everlasting impact on the city nonetheless.

    Long ago, he set up an anonymous scavenger hunt for the starving village, providing them with a year’s worth of supplies. He upped the ante each year, providing less practical things, as the village had become a city and was wealthy beyond belief. Festivals are thrown in his honor to this day, or a version of him, that is.

    Thatch has decided to throw a wild card into this year’s Game. Whoever discovers his true identity will win one wish of their choice, no restrictions. Aside from the obvious, such as no falling in love, murder or resurrection.

    Arlo crashes into the mess of copper curls and bright eyes, who throws apothecary goods and his life into a chaotic mess. It certainly wasn’t the first they met, but Arlo doesn’t remember him. Thatch, however, never forgot the Witch with a familiar soulmark on his face.

    What follows is a hilarious and wholesome series of events that teases the immortal with the one thing he wants most.

    Someone to call home.

      Excellent characters & great representation of diversity, the immortal character Thatch’s story is particularly interesting and unique. One I would have liked is a bit more exploration of the world, still didn’t feel like I knew it by the end.

      This was a lovely read. Id recommend this books to anyone that enjoyed the house by the cerulean sea since both books have many small similarities and generally the same vibe. A lovely story about love, finding your place, making mistakes, communication, and family. Some plot elements felt underdeveloped but it’s part of a book series after all so maybe that won’t be an issue. Anyway this book is everything you can ask for in a low-action high stakes fantasy book.

      I loved this so much. Lovable, complicated characters and a story that I was consistently surprised by in a unique and lived-in world. The writing is also terrific, giving emotional life to the characters and substance to the relationships between them.

      The narrator is phenomenal. I almost always knew which character was talking. There are some difficult subjects touched on, but the author approaches them with care and kindness. I can’t recommend this book highly enough.

      I agree with almost everything Bethy had to say in their review of the ebook-- more reviews are listed there. Enjoyed it-- also felt adrift in all the possible paths the story could take, and having to catch back up when the story took a sudden turn away from a plot line.
      That being said, couldn't put it down for the duration.

      Small spoiler/content warning below:
      I listened to the audio book so my ability to skip uncomfortable content was limited. There comes a point when Thatch describes some of who happened to him to Arlo. If you, like me, can't deal with medical horror -- do skip away until the moment has passed. It's a long drawn out story, not just one sentence or something that gets dropped.
