I kept picturing Shrek gingerbread men.

loved Bob, Mona's Aunt and Uncle, and Spindle. Spindle made me smile, gingle or laugh.


It starts out like a murder mystery when Mona, this young baker, finds a body, but it turns into a coming-of-age story real fast, in a crazy political mess.

Disliked the incompetence of the Duchess it does get mentioned that "yeah.. i know it sucks. But no one should have all the power" Made me think of the climate of the USA.  Great conversation starter.


Some social difference are mentioned and explored. It was done well.
