The Baker and the Bard ๐ถ๐
Juniper the Baker, Hadley the Bard, and Fern the snake are set off on a merry adventure for a missing baking ingredient, but their journey quickly derails into a side quest as they discover a mystery plaguing small town farmers and their crops.
Such a cute and quick read with beautiful imagery, this was the perfect book to read wrapped in a blanket with a warm cup of tea. This graphic novel contained found family, found friends, romance, and of course delicious baked goods (including a recipe at the end)!
I wish the magic system and world building were described in some detail but the story primarily relied on visuals over wordy storytelling, which is absolutely fine for a children's or young adult novel.
I would highly recommend this graphic novel to young adults and fans of LGBTQAIP+ Fantasy.
Received as an ARC from NetGalley.
