The book had some cool aspects, but I'm kinda on the fence about the whole thing. The idea of a wizard bakery grabbed me, and the magical stuff was pretty creative. But, you know, things didn't quite pan out as awesome as I hoped.
The speed of the story was a bit all over the place, making it tricky to stay hooked consistently. There were these moments that really shone, but then there were these slow bits that messed with the vibe. Props for the magical pastries descriptions—they were vivid and dreamy, adding a nice touch. Despite my mixed feelings, the book did sprinkle a bit of magic here and there, giving a taste of wonder.
The Indonesian translation was a bit off for me. It felt too literal and not as beautiful as I hoped, especially for a fantasy book. I was crossing my fingers for a better translation.
