2023 book 145

 Kaye Bellot's Green Year Dragonfly

Oh hello, what’s this, an epistolary cozy fantasy?! Please and thank you! Anyway, this involves a mapmaker who hires a young woman house hunter—which may not sound like a fantastic premise, except that his house is alive and has wandered off. So she and her dog and a friend set off to track it down! The whole thing is told in letters between them, and to various aunts and cousins and meddling mamas. It’s all very sweet and funny, though there are occasional dangers (herds of killer unicorns, zombies, pirates, zombie pirates, etc). But super adorable moments balance that out. Really enjoyable and satisfying. A/A-.
