I really wanted to love Agnes Aubert’s Mystical Cat Shelter—it was one of my most anticipated reads of the year. I adored reading Emily Wilde with a cup of tea in my coziest chair, and I’m a huge fan of Howl’s Moving Castle. Plus, I have several cats at home that I consider my most precious family...
The read was pleasant—the kind of easy, relaxing story you want to dive into after a long day. It’s soft, fluffy, and comforting, featuring a charmingly messy and reserved wizard with extravagant outfits, two sisters who love each other dearly, a myriad of endearing cats, and delicious pastries—all set in a cold but magical winter landscape. It had everything I love.
But if I’m being honest, the novel felt a bit hollow. There was something empty about it. Agnes and Havelock are exactly my type of characters, yet I struggled to connect with them. I didn't feel much for their romance or the grief and hardships in their lives. I wanted to adore them, but... it felt like reading Howl’s Moving Castle without its particular magic, its pacing, or its complex character depth. Simply put, it was the same story, but not as good.
It was a nice read, but compared to my other reads this year or Heather Fawcett’s previous books, it didn't quite charm me. I’m a bit disappointed, of course, but I’m sure it will make many other readers very happy! :)
