“For once, she truly wished that Mirjana was by her side to interpret social cues for her.” 

Do you want to read a cozy, historical romantasy that has a FMC who is reputated to be a wicked queen, or is she? 🤭🤎

Your Cottagecore Librarian is back with a review on Wooing the Witch Queen! This is meant to be a Cozy, Historical Romantasy book that I quite enjoyed! Wooing the Witch Queen is a Historical Romantasy that basically follows Queen Saskia and a mysterious dark wizard, Felix or Fabian. This story gives the vibes of a powerful FMC who has a kind heart but won’t tolerate any harm to her loved ones and an MMC who is a soft-hearted librarian and a cinnamon-roll MC🥹

While I’m usually a huge fan of grumpy x sunshine, the trope of strong MC x cinnamon roll MC is very similar and this story made me giddy throughout it all. Wooing the Witch Queen is also advertised as appropriate for cozy fantasy audience (which I am). The most wholesome thing is that the MMC appreciates and loves the FMC in a way that makes her feel like she has finally met someone who does not want to change her! 🤎🤎

Some of the themes that are addressed in the book are how the MC stand out in the crowd, how they impact each other positively and how they learn to trust each other. This is a low stake book and I had so much fun reading it! 

Wooing the Witch Queen is definitely one of my top read in 2025 and with a crossover of historical & cozy fantasy (both my favourite sub-genre), it was bound to happen. I would highly recommend this book to almost anyone but don’t go in expecting high stacks as it is a cozy fantasy book at the end of the day!

Thank you to Pan Macmillan & Tor Bramble for the physical Arc of Wooing the Witch Queen in exchange for my honest opinion.
