Description

Maire is a baker with an extraordinary gift: she can infuse her treats with emotions and abilities, which are then passed on to those who eat them. She doesn't know why she can do this and remembers nothing of who she is or where she came from.When marauders raid her town, Maire is captured and sold to the eccentric Allemas, who enslaves her and demands that she produce sinister confections, including a witch's gingerbread cottage, a living cookie boy, and size-altering cakes.During her captivity, Maire is visited by Fyel, a ghostly being who is reluctant to reveal his connection to her. The more often they meet, the more her memories return, and she begins to piece together who and what she really is--as well as past mistakes that yield cosmic consequences.From the author of The Paper Magician series comes a haunting and otherworldly tale of folly and consequence, forgiveness and redemption.

A good one for something I had little expectations of.

The story is something I have never really read yet. You know when you read books, and they are all pretty much the same that one can actually predict what is going to happen? Not this one. I have not come across anything like it yet. Which was okay. In the beginning I thought it was a different take on Alice in Wonderland. Then Hansel and Gretel. But not really. It was good. I wonder how long I would remember it.

Bit too brutal, and the epilogue comes to sudden and to unexplained. But exciting nonetheless. No moment of boredom while reading this.
