Description
Certainty Bulrush wants to be useful—to the Guild of Mages that took her in as a novice, to the little brother who depends on her, and to anyone else she can help. Unfortunately, her tepid magic hasn’t proven much use to anyone. When Certainty has the chance to earn her magehood via a seemingly straightforward assignment, she takes it. Nevermind that she’ll have to work with Mage Aurelia, the brilliant, unfairly attractive overachiever who’s managed to alienate everyone around her.
The two must transport minorly magical artifacts somewhere safe: Shpelling, the dullest, least magical village around. There, they must fix up an old warehouse, separate the gossipy teapots from the kind-of-flaming swords, corral an unruly little catdragon who has tagged along, and above all, avoid complications. The Guild’s uneasy relationship with citizens is at a tipping point, and the last thing needed is a magical incident.
Still, as mage and novice come to know Shpelling’s residents—and each other—they realize the Guild’s hoarded magic might do more good being shared. Friendships blossom while Certainty and Aurelia work to make Shpelling the haven it could be. But magic is fickle—add attraction and it might spell trouble.

Grumpy x Sunshine but make it sapphic and cozy! This book is in the same world as "Teller of Fortunate Things" - and while I couldn't completely embrace that book, "Keeper of Magical Things" has me in its comfy, magic-infused grip. Certainty is a novice, wanting nothing more than becoming a mage and finally being useful. Right now all she can do is talk with objects. Aurelia is a mage, and you can easily see why she's called the "Ice Queen". When there's an overabundance of magical objects, the two of them are tasked to transport them to a desolate village to store them away for good. But what if the artefacts might be useful to the villagers who've had a hard time since a mage-war left them with almost nothing? And what if what awaits in the village is resentment at first, but found family later? And ultimately - what if the Ice Queen is melting for the Certainty? A real cozy book, and it won me over especially with the ending, where all the emotional investment pays off. Also you have chatty teapots and cat dragons. There's really nothing more left to wish for. 4,5/5 stars Thank you @netgalley and @hodderbooks for the eARC! #KeeperOfMagicalThings #Netgalley #CozyFantasy #Bookstagram
