I was very pleasantly surprised to discover that A Wizard’s Guide to Defensive Baking is even better than that, it’s a YA that can be read and very much enjoyed by adults. That doesn’t happen as much as it used to, but it definitely does still happen. And I’m so very glad that it did. I also wondered whether this was really YA or whether it was one of those cases where something got called YA because it was fantasy. Not that the stabbity-stabbity gingerbread man on the cover isn’t adorable, but it was definitely the title that got me.
I fully admit that I bought this one for the title.
