Super boring book that is basically about a girl who coerces people to do things without their consent by essentially drugging them with magic (but it's supposed to be a good thing?). Forgettable characters, mind-numbingly trite plot...there is literally nothing redeemable about this book. I'd only recommend reading it if you need help falling asleep (from boredom).

If I were a middle-schooler, I would probably find nothing wrong with this book. It has magic, it has the poor orphan girl, it has an evil wizard, and pirates. There is even a female pirate captain. There is a captive princess and a poor blacksmith boy. What else could I possibly want?
The story is about Bee, who lost her parents in a ship wreck and after living with foster parents, has finally struck out on her own, and found herself in a kingdom that resembles the Netherlands, but a magic Netherlands, in some time either after civilization has fallen, or back in magic times. I never could figure that part out.
And Bee apprenticies herself to a baker, and learns to bake emotions into her cookies and pastries.
And yeah, it all turns out well in the end.
And, as I said, if I were a middle-schooler, I would probably love the weird accents on just the pirates, and the fact that the trees were taken away a hundred years ago, so the people don't know about things that grow on trees, even though they import other things, so they should have figured that part out.
Anyway. It was fun enough, if you didn't stop to wonder what the ships were built from, and the furniture, and the houses, and the doors, if there were no trees.
But, that is just me.
