[Fantasy Romance + Sweet Romance + Happy Ending + Mild Everyone-Loves-Her + Academy of Supernatural Powers]
Reader advisory: The heroine is lively, cute, and soft-looking, with a mild everyone-loves-her vibe and a little female rivalry. If that's not your thing, feel free to leave. The story also preserves only some animal instincts and can't fully recreate them, so readers who care about strict accuracy may want to leave too.

Children get to choose. Adults get everything.
