Thank you to Raincoast Books for an advanced copy of this rerelease!

This is such a sweet, cozy lil story! As someone who loves baking, I really appreciated the beautiful connection Arleta had with baking, and the lovely descriptors of the pastries themselves! The found family aspect was also so sweet, and I’m excited to read the next books in the series to follow Doli and Jez’s stories! 

Though I did find the plot quite predictable, that’s also kind of nice in a cozy, low-stakes fantasy! I’d recommend this if you’re a fan of Legends and Lattes type books!
