Description

The award-winning, shocking Korean bestseller, a unique tale where magic comes at a price.

'A story of choice and consequence. Unique and unorthodox' ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐
'I didn't want to stop reading, I still don't want the story to be over' ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐

'Don't we all need a little magic in our lives sometimes?'

Open twenty-four hours a day in a quiet Seoul neighbourhood, The Wizard's Bakery seems like any other where you can buy bread, cakes, and pastries, with a somewhat grumpy man behind the counter.

For a desperate runaway teen, it's a refuge from a fractured home - until he discovers the pastries hold magic: madeleines to fix broken hearts, almond bars to unearth memories buried deep within and cinnamon cookies for your worst enemies.

But each of these items come with a warning: the power contained in the treats inevitably alters the order of the world and can produce dramatic consequences for those who consume them, consequences that need to be weighed carefully.

Under the stern eye of the bakery's gruff wizard and his mysterious blue-haired assistant, the boy learns about the responsibility that comes with working in a bakery where every bite comes with a price.

** Translated from the Korean by Jamie Chang **

Unerwartet und harte Kost

Bei der Beschreibung, der Aufmachung und dem Titel habe ich Urban Fantasy erwartet und zwar eher die kuschelige Variante. Ich weiß nicht, wo ich falsch abgebogen bin, aber man bekommt hier hatte Kost vorgesetzt. Es wird aus der Ich-Perspektive eines Jungen geschrieben, der in seinem Leben schon einiges ertragen musste. Der Zauberer der Bäckerei ist auch nicht der sympathischste Zeitgenosse und es geht sehr viel um Konsequenzen und Verantwortung tragen. Naja, es war insbesondere nicht, dass ich erwartet habe. Aber auch sonst hat es mich nicht so richtig abgeholt. Ich konnte mich in den Jungen hineinversetzen, aber die anderen Figuren verhielten sich sehr unberechenbar in meinen Augen.
