Review:
This book was wonderful! It is book two in the series and I loved the book. T.M covers so many topics but with this cozy fantasy, you get this feeling of belonging within a community after feeling excluded your entire life. Book two, Dusted in Snowflakes, follows Kaida on her journey of opening a new business in her town and builds on that aspect. I absolutely loved going on this journey with Kaida and getting to know her more and see how she built her bakery. I also loved the new addition to the cozy smallburrow group.

T.M also focuses on the fact that Kaida is also neurodivergent and she bases this on her daughters and herself. While reading this book, as a neurodivergent myself, I could totally relate to Kaida, on how she always felt different and like she stood out, no matter what she did. This book is perfect way to make you feel like you belong and what better place to belong in other than a cozy community in Smallburrow:
"She tried not to think about the life she had left back there, the sadness that she felt with anyone but Eilaen. Though everyone had been nice to her, nobody had tried to understand her in the ways Eilaen always had. Nobody ever had, not until they had moved here and she'd gotten to know the townsfolk and had been wrapped in love by Ms. Kestrel and Jareth. She'd always been seen as weird, as different. She was always "too bouncy" or "too loud" or "too much" for everyone. Even her own parents struggled with her uniqueness, the tension only growing thicker once she began to show her affinity for baking magic."

Thank you to T.M for an eArc copy in exchange for my honest opinion.
