Description
Return to the cosy and heart-warming world of The Spellshop in The Enchanted Greenhouse by Sarah Beth Durst, a world brimming with singing flowers, honey cakes and honeyed love.
Terlu Perna broke the law because she was lonely. She cast a spell and created a magically sentient spider plant. As punishment, she was turned into a wooden statue and tucked away into an alcove in the Great Library of Alyssium.
When Terlu wakes up, she finds herself on a nearly-deserted island full of hundreds of magical greenhouses. The only other human on the island is a grumpy – but surprisingly sweet – gardener. He offers Terlu a place to sleep, clean clothes and freshly baked honey cakes – at least until she’s ready to sail home.
But Terlu can’t return and doesn’t want to. And when she learns that the magic that sustains the greenhouses is failing – causing the death of everything within them – Terlu knows she must stay and help. Even if that means breaking the law again. Assisted by the gardener, a sentient rose and a winged cat, Terlu must uncover the spell that will save the island – and possibly also find a fresh chance at love and happiness along the way.
Funny, kind and forgiving, The Enchanted Greenhouse by New York Times bestselling author Sarah Beth Durst is a story about giving second chances – to others and to yourself.

The enchanted greenhouse is a sight to behold with its abundance of beautiful flowers and magical creatures, but its magic is failing and a sorcerer is urgently needed to restore the spells before it’s too late.
This cosy fantasy novel was a joy to read. It felt like Sarah Beth Durst was painting the enchanted greenhouse with her descriptions of the colourful, fragrant flowers while still allowing space for the character development of our protagonist, Terlu Perna, who arrives on the island in mysterious circumstances. From the moment that Terlu met the greenhouse’s gardener, I hoped that they would find space in their hearts for one another! In the meantime, Terlu showed her determination and resilience as she faced up to some daunting magical challenges and journeyed towards finding her passion and purpose.
I only wish that there had been some chapters from the gardener’s point of view. As Terlu observed, shrugs and grunts seemed to be his favourite form of communication and I would have welcomed insight into his unvoiced thoughts and feelings.
This was a wonderful story with feel-good energy. A must-read if you enjoyed Sarah Beth Durst’s The Spellshop and a great choice if you read cosy fantasy. It was such a treat to receive the eARC and I’m looking forward to reading more stories set on the Crescent Islands. Thank you to Pan Macmillan and NetGalley for sharing this with me in exchange for an honest review.

The cover is stunning and is what got my instant attention! After reading the description I knew I had to request it, I was over the moon to be accepted!
I love gardening, so to have this book be focused on plants and the most incredible greenhouse( "does it count as multiple greenhouses, or is it a single greenhouse with multiple rooms?")
It was a joy to be in Belde, I feel I could have read the book in one sitting if life didn't get in the way!
The characters, the details, the story, the adventure, the world that was created in my mind as I read was beautiful. I am so glad I had the opportunity to read this book. I will now look to try and read The Spellshop as it appears they are connected.
On a side note, I was secretly hoping at the end of the book there would be recipes, as oh my days the foods sounded delicious, and I would have loved to whip up a honey cake!
Final note, I was also hoping there would be maps at the end aswell, as Terlu frequently referenced creating them, so I was excited thinking there would be. But I suppose, the Greenhouse of Belde is out if this world, I'm not sure if maps could be created!
Thank you for this incredible adventure in Belde, I'm going to go tend to my own precious plants now!

I absolutely adored The Spellshop book so when I saw this next book on NetGalley I couldn’t help but requesting it! Stunning cover that really shows how stunning this fantastical book is. Great plot and characters and really hope there’s more!

The Enchanted Greenhouse is a cozy, adorable and heartwarming fantasy romance. I loved it even more than The Spellshop and I'd already cried once before I even hit the 25% mark! It was the focus on Terlu's loneliness that really got me, and then how she found herself with Yarrow, a gardener alone on the island of Belde, and a sentient rose who both understood her loneliness themselves. It's like a warm hug in a book!
Also, I can't get over how beautiful this cover is!
