Synopsis
Ginger. Honey. Cinnamon. Flour.
Twenty years after the witch in the gingerbread house, Greta and Hans are struggling to get by. Their mother and stepmother are long dead, Hans is deeply in debt from gambling, and the countryside lies in ruin, its people starving in the aftermath of a brutal war.
Greta has a secret, the witch's grimoire, secreted away and whispering in Greta's ear for the past two decades, and the recipe inside that makes the best gingerbread you've ever tasted. As long as she can bake, Greta can keep her small family afloat.
But in a village full of superstition, Greta and her mysteriously addictive gingerbread, not to mention the rumors about her childhood misadventures, is a source of gossip and suspicion.
And now, dark magic is returning to the woods and Greta's magic?magic she is still trying to understand?may be the only thing that can save her. If it doesn't kill her first.

Bon 1er livre,l'écriture est sublime et l'ambiance conte de fées m'a totalement séduite! Par contre,j'ai eu l'impression que ça allait dans tout les sens et que l'intrigue principale se perds dans des sous intrigue. On parle de plein de sujets importants qui sont pas du tout approfondis,pareil pour les personnages... L'insta love m'a fait soupirer un peu (beaucoup)
