Basil and Oregano by Melissa Capriglione

dembury's review

3.0

I loved the combination of cooking and magic, and the idea of a Magiculinary school is super creative! I’d love to see more stories with settings like that.
However, the story as a whole DID have a lot of plot holes and way-too-rapid pacing. Lack of explanation for things and all the jumping around made it all feel pretty surface level. I also think, as happy as the ending is, it was just soooo idealistic that I kinda rolled my eyes.
Still, a nice enough story, and one I can definitely see myself recommending to some readers!
