Jaleigh Johnson’s The Reimagining of Thornwood House
Do you want to read a cozy fantasy novel? This is the quintessential example of a cozy fantasy novel circa 2026. Our protagonist is a land witch who takes a job as a caretaker of a magical sentient house, only the house has kicked out all its previous possible caretakers. And if the house doesn’t let her stay, she won’t be able to finalize the adoption of her daughter! Plus there’s a magical mystery to untangle! Luckily there are quirky townsfolk and a handy neighbor (the requisite love interest) on hand to help. I’m not trying to sound facetious. I liked the house and the relationship with the daughter. But a lot of this, especially the romance, felt very rote, and it really dragged for a lot of the story. I was pretty over it by the end. But if you want more cozy fantasy to read, this exists! B.
