review 1: So I have mixed feelings about this book. I mostly wanted to read it as research for the novel I'm writing and the theme is similar. The summary sounded intriguing but the book starts slow. I was almost halfway through before I really started to enjoy it. And then the ending was abrupt, offering less closure and more questions. Thankfully there was an excerpt of the next book included. Still. I wasn't sure going in that this was a series. So it kind of caught me by surprise. My four stars is probably more like three and a half. I enjoyed the food aspect and the inclusion of recipes, although most of them felt intimidating, even for a non-beginning cook.I will read the next one because my curiosity is piqued. But I'm not overly enthusiastic about this... more one.
review 2: I never thought I would like a series like this one. It was new to me and I did enjoy it. You get something that no other book does or often. You get recipes at the end of each chapter. I want to finish out this series when the books come out. I hope it soon. If you like recipes this book may be for you. None the less I hope you can decide for yourself. I hope you enjoy reading it. I hope you have a good experience with it but if not it okay. I really had a hard time putting it down. My other this is I had a little bit of a hard time reading it. It had nothing to do with the author or her writing. It had something to do with me myself and understanding the concept. less
