A Fellowship of Bakers & Magic

This is one of the better cozy fantasies I've read. Super charming and I loved reading about the baking – it didn't go super in depth which I can find boring– and the cute friendships found along the way were great.
The romance though was honestly rather annoying because of Arleta who just kept asking him the same question over and over then finally telling him the same excuse over and over even though she knew it was false. And the whole time after the competition? Maddening. Theo deserves so much better tbh. And yet, I did like Arleta. I understand her insecurities, I do. It's such a bummer she was always running away ugh.


SO, as charming as the first half was before I got annoyed at some repetition, I honestly don't know if I'll continue the series. We'll see.
