[Review] A Wizard's Guide to Defensive Baking by T. Kingfisher

I was instantly enchanted with this book. It was so fun and clever. Extremely original. And, while a sentence or two summary of the plot would make the book sound a bit absurd, Kingfisher completely pulled it off. The worldbuilding was great. And the character development was spot on. The characters felt so real and universal that I was in tears by the end of the book.

This was a great book that made me laugh and cry. And, truth be told, I would love to have a bit of baking magic that allowed me to stick my fingers into my sourdough starter and turn it into a somewhat sentient creature. I think I will name my sourdough starter Bob, in celebration of this book. Now, if only my Bob were unkillable.

A fantastic read filled with fun and whimsy.
