The characters believe in many gods and in the existence of assistants who craft the landscapes of worlds. She shares kisses with him and with another man. Maire remembers making love to her husband in a brief scene. She learns that others from her home come in different colors.
As she recovers her memory, her skin turns a deep red. The fantasy landscape is vast and drives by the identities of various cultures as Maire wonders where she’s from. I’ve heard great things about The Paper Magician, so I hope to give that one a read soon.Īlso, special thanks to author Jeff Wheeler, Jolien at The Fictional Reader and Carrie at Reading is My Super Power for recommending Magic Bitter, Magic Sweet to me! Holmberg that I’ve read, but I now I’m eager to read others. I liked that he didn’t just bulldoze over her and push her around, but he’s no weakling either.įans of Laini Taylor’s Daughter of Smoke and Bone or Melissa Grey’s The Girl at Midnight should definitely give this book a read. But as the story progresses he shows such devotion to Maire, yet he allows her a lot of independence and respect. I liked that a lot and thought it was pretty clever. It definitely added this feeling that the author and readers were sharing an inside joke that the characters were unaware of. A lonely woman begs her to make a living gingerbread boy. For example, she’s asked to make a gingerbread house covered with candy. I think one of my favorite elements was that when Allemas asks Maire to make cakes for him, the orders and customers come from familiar fairytale stories. This story has a really fresh, unique feel to it. Fyel promises to help Maire, but she must recover her memories before Allemas destroys her. Maire finds herself enslaved by the cruel Allemas, who demands that she make magical cakes for him. But before she can find out what an ordinary life in Carmine might hold for her, she meets a ghostly form from her past, a winged man named Fyel, who desperately wants her to remember who she is.īefore she can pursue her lost memories, marauders tear through her home, capturing her. She has a good life, one which she may yet share with Cleric Tuck.
That is Maire’s gift: she can impart these things through her cakes. A kind couple take her in and she spends her days baking sweets infused with love, hope, or strength. Maire arrives in Carmine without any memory of how she got there.
