Immediately the charming art style set the scene of what to expect in this cozy graphic fantasy novel. In this story, two friends -- a baker and a bard, if you can't guess by the title -- go on a quest to get an ingredient for a special pastry, and along the way they get into more adventure than they were expecting. 

I loved seeing the diverse species of beings in this cozy fantasy world, along with the casual queer rep. One of the two main characters, the bard, is nonbinary, in addition to a significant side character. I loved that we don't have to witness queer trauma in this story, we get to see queer joy and love which fits the cozy themes of this book. We need more queer normative environments to watch us thrive.

The art style is so cute with the calming colors, but I do wish there was more contrast on the page. The values kind of blend together, and it could help show what is most important and set better mood to have more shadows and highlights. Additionally, the images were slightly blurry, but that may just be the quality of the e-ARC and fixed for the final copies.

The story was simple but quaint. I loved seeing the themes of being kind to nature and those indigenous to an area while also working to get what you need from the land, and showing it doesn't have to be separate from eachother. I appreciate the bit of mystery at the end, and I like how the end leaves us open to receive more adventures without feeling like the story was incomplete.

Overall a very easy and cozy read, I can't wait to see more from this author! 4.5 Stars

Thank you to MacMillan, Feiwel & Friends, and NetGalley for the e-ARC.
