Wrath: Stay here in my magic protected home where no one can hurt you
*Emilia leaves house and walks right into danger*
This book was good. A bit infuriating at times because Emilia thought she could do it all alone, but good.
One of my new pet peeves is excessive descriptions of food in novels. I do not need a recipe for some Italian dish that required a specific amount of citrus. It takes away from the story. This isn't a cookbook or a book about cooking. Your family just happens to own a restaurant.
Not sure if I will read the next ones. Maybe someday, but no true desire at the moment.
Also, I appreciate this not feeling like a YA novel.
