Breanna Ingersollis looking for a Book in Fantasy Book Club
I'm looking for recommendations. I've read plenty of sword-fighting baddies, and I've loved them all, but now I'm looking for healers. Whether it's magic or an apothecary touch. I'm reading Spark of the Everflame & loved Lost Apothecary, but I haven't run into any other books with the MC as a healer so far.

Suggested bySarah Ortinau
Sarah OrtinauVery slice of life (honestly I prefer the other books in the series) but I think you need to read this first to understand the other women the family and the motifs and spells that connect them all. I would read in publishing order, but that’s just me.

Sarah OrtinauAbout fmc who becomes a taster for the king and tries to survive against a brutal court system that wants her dead

Suggested bySarah Ortinau
Sarah OrtinauThis follows Maria Owens, who is an ancestor to the women in Practical Magic, who has a stronger sense of using nature to help her spells then others in her family line. If you’re not looking to read all of the books, or to read out of order, I highly suggest reading this book then (the movie Practical Magic is honestly better than the book, but this is my favorite in the series)
Suggested bySarah Ortinau
