3 delicious, mysterious, baked stars!

This story was quite short so I can't say too much without giving it all away, but Riley works in a bakery and gets a strange request from a traveler. Though they only usually grant unusual requests to locals, she decides to fulfill his order.

This was a fun story that felt like a retelling, but upon further research it looks like its just a fairytale with influence from the Balkan, which is pretty cool! I could totally imagine this being told as a children's story through the years like a real fairytale. A story told orally through generations. Which means the author got it just right in tone!

I know its a short story, but I really wanted a bit more. My big downfall here was that the resolution felt like a coincidence and not purposeful, but I think it was meant to be purposeful. And I think we needed to know a bit more about the twins world, not a lot, but to put it into a little context. I still enjoyed this, though!
