About this listen

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.

Starts a bit slow, but picks up ans stays there. Itis also a bit predictable, but even so it is intresting and a good time.

A.good listen

So very very clever, I was hooked from the start. I cannot really say much more other than - this is one of the most creative storylines I've come across in a very long time

Brilliant!!!

Didn't really know what I was getting into here. But followed the story to the end. I won't read any more books by this author but it was a adventure into fantasy fiction.

Very weird book

First half super slow, i kept debating whether to just give up and stop listening, the first half really frustrating listening to as it seems like there's information withheld just for the sake of the story. The second half had me gripped and was a 5 or 6 star book. It nearly had me in tears for many parts and I found it super clever and endearing.

First half super slow, second half 5 or 6 star book worth persevering with

I have enjoyed every book I have read by this author but I have to say !WOW! this book is so different with so many unexpected twists and turns and (two) fantastic endings! I totally loved it!! I can’t praise Charlie N. Holmberg enough on this book and the narration was brilliant too!!

Loved this book!!
