    Quite a lovely book. I think that it might be really good for someone who is just getting into fantasy, because it is not as heavy as other fantasy stories are, but still packs a nice punch. I did enjoy it very much. Bob is such a great addition to this, I've loved how it was used! I'm happy I've read it 😊

    I haven't seen anyone talk about this book, but it is truly amazing. Quite short so it's really easy to read in one go. Both scary and lovely. I can't stop thinking about it 😊

    I've been told this was a cozy read and while reading about baking and bread in theory should be cozy, this book is a lot more than that. The drama is not so intense, which I like. Half cozy read, if you will 😅

    It's not a bad book, but it's also not a really good book. The writing style is nice but the story itself is not really pulling me in. Chapters aren't long but sometimes it feels like they are hundred pages long while reading. I feel like there is so much unnecessary details added, or they are simply not explained well. We'll see if anything changes later.

    Oh, Richard, I love you! I think this one might be my favourite from the series so far. Those old people are so silly and so dear to my heart. Some of the plot twists were predictable but I found no problem with that, it felt like I was a little detective as well! Bogdan, my beloved. I loved him so much in this book. All in all, a great book! Cannot wait to read the rest of the series ☺️

    I find that with every book from this series, it takes you some time to pull you in but once it does, it doesn't let go. First few pages were exciting, but not as the rest is. I don't know if I'm picking up the right things he's putting down, but this one character is giving me suspicious vibes and I cannot wait to see where the story takes me. It's so hard to put it down!
