When you are a woman living in a patriarchal environment, where people see you as weak, you think you are. Then, one day, the masks are unveiled, you see the truth and you understand you are strong and even stronger than those who oppressed and bullied you.
This is what happened to some of us, this is what happened to Ophelia with false beliefs and suffocating religion.

This story is magnificent !

Such a cute and cozy book. No angst, just fluffiness.
The characters are all lovely : a badass half-elf half-human rogue (Lira) who learns to bake like her human grandmother and may settle down after years being a rogue, a sassy dwarf (Sass) who will make you laugh, a cute orc (Korl) who is the sweetest cinnamon roll ever, a flying stoat (Crumpet!) who makes an adorable baking assistant, and lots of magical creatures and beings.
Love the baking, the friendships, the interactions with the village folk, the coziness.

Thanks T.L Stone for making me part of the Cozy Crew and for the lovely ARC.
