Publisher's Summary

A human, a dwarf and an elf walk into a bake-off…

In the heart of Adenashire, where elfish enchantments and dwarven delights rule, Arleta Starstone, a human confectionist works twice as hard perfecting her unique blend of baking and apothecary herbs.

So when an orc neighbor secretly enters her creations into the prestigious Elven Baking Battle, Arleta faces a dilemma.

Being magicless, her participation in the competition could draw more scowls than smiles. And if Arleta wants to prove her talent and establish her culinary reputation, this human will need more than just her pastry craft to sweeten the odds.

While competing, she'll set off on a journey of mouthwatering pastries, self-discovery, heartwarming friendships and romance, while questioning whether winning the Baking Battle is the true prize.

Escape to for a delightful cozy fantasy where every twist is a treat and every turn a step closer to home.

Narrator does an amazing job with such a lacklustre story

I love a cozy fantasy and was really looking forward to listening to this one.

While the food descriptions had my stomach grumbling the entire time, I will say that this book fell short for me. The plot was very simplistic and low stakes, which I know is a norm for cozy fantasies, but I saw all the “twists” happening many chapters before they were revealed.

The main character was also very annoying. Throughout the entire book, she goes on and on about how she’s human, she’s magic-less, she doesn’t deserve to be in the baking competition, etc. It got old quickly.

Couple that with the fact that the baking competition starts at 40% of the way through the book, and that the baking competition felt very Great British Bake Off, I think I would have preferred to read it instead of listening to it on audiobook. That way I could have skimmed past all of the negative internal monologue and focus on the story.

The side characters in this book were very interesting. I loved Dolly, Jez, Arleta’s neighbours and Theo. I’d be interested to read the second book, as it’s from Dolly’s POV, and we won’t be getting Arleta’s internal monologue.

If you enjoy cozy fantasies, I’d recommend checking this book out on KU.
