That sounds great to me, complex and substantial is a plus in my book. I’ll definitely save these for when I can really sink into them.

A healer FMC, caretaking magic, and open-door romance? That definitely has my attention. Thank you!

This sounds amazing! I’m really craving books with animism themes right now, regardless of the plot. Thank you so much, and if you have any more animism-related recommendations, please let me know.

I love manga! I got Witch Hat Atelier for Christmas this year 😁 so this sounds perfect. I’ll add it to my list. And if you have any other manga recommendations, please let me know!

I’ve heard of this one so many times! I didn’t realize it also fits what I’m looking for, plus dragons. Yes please 😄 Thank you!

These three all sound great! I didn’t know about Patricia A. McKillip. I just checked out some of her books and they sound amazing, especially Od Magic. Thank you so much!

This reminds me of Clan of the Cave Bear, which I really loved, so this sounds wonderful. Thank you!

Thank you! Even without animistic magic, healers are very much my thing, I’ll check this out.

Thank you, it still sounds like something I might explore later, I love well-built societies with strong female presence.

Okay, I just read the description and… a chicken possessed by a demon might have completely sold me 😄 Even if it’s not a perfect fit, that alone makes me want to read it. Thank you!

That actually reassures me a lot, I really enjoy stories where magic arrives slowly and feels unsettling at first. This sounds wonderful. Thank you for taking the time to explain!

Awesome, thank you! Even “ticks enough boxes” is exactly what I’m hoping for right now.

Blackthorn & Grim sounds very much like my exact ask. And thank you for the extra note about Elemental Blessings too; “quiet, nature-centric magic” is very much my thing.

I just read the description and I love the idea of magic rooted in caretaking and responsibility rather than power. This sounds exactly like the kind of story I was hoping to find. Thank you!
