I thought it tied up the story really well. Of course, at the end of the story, we find out why he's so broken. Every scene with him just solidified that he's a very broken being and not complete. Even though he's the apparent antagonist in the story, I found myself feeling sorry for him. Once she's kidnapped by the Marauders and sold to Allemas, I feel like it was sort of a quest for Marie to find her memories. I usually really like to read a character's background story, but Marie's background is at the end when she gets all of her memories back. I thought Marie having amnesia was really interesting. Anyways, I loved that she put positive influence into her baked goods. It was one of the things I loved about the Spellbound series by Anabel Chase ( You can find my series overview here). I loved the idea of being able to infuse emotions into food. So, I was instantly drawn into this story. I generally try to not have them if I can, but I don't feel like I can talk about the book without the spoilers.
My review of Magic Bitter, Magic Sweet is probably going to have spoilers. I'm trying to be a good challenge co-host and fill out level one instead of jumping around everywhere. Lucky for me it worked out perfect for a Book that starts with M. So when I saw Magic Bitter, Magic Sweet I knew I had to read it. I absolutely adored the spinoff book Paper Magician.
I had a love-hate relationship with the Paper Magician series ( Paper Magician, Glass Magician, Master Magician). Holmberg's creativity is blowing my mind.
