Fourteen-year-old Mona isn't like the wizards charged with defending the city. She can't control lightning or speak to water. Her familiar is a sourdough starter, and her magic only works on bread. She has a comfortable life in her aunt's bakery making gingerbread men dance.

But Mona's life is turned upside down when she finds a dead body on the bakery floor. An assassin is stalking the streets of Mona's city, preying on magic folk, and it appears that Mona is his next target. And in an embattled city suddenly bereft of wizards, the assassin may be the least of Mona's worries....

Quand les brioches collent des pains, les chasseurs de mages dégustent ! J'ai rarement autant apprécié un jeunesse. Attention : ça déborde d'humour, certes, mais c'est loin d'être cosy. On parle de guerre, de meurtres en série et on aborde des réflexions très dures sur l'héroïsme. Ça commence sucré et ça laisse un goût amer. Grosse recommandation.

Incroyable

I read several of her books and really like this author. T. Kingfisher has a great sense of humor, empathy and psychology. Her characters are endearing, they are not perfect and glamorous, we can relate to their worries and problems, their relationships are touching and their worlds quite interesting. Bob and the horse lady are unforgettable. Though the plot may seem common (young teen with magic powers tries to save everyone), the author blends them into an original and quite good recipe.

Also, the author uses family friendly language and content for this younger audience book, so it should be perfectly ok for sensitive persons too. Some difficult themes like murder and war are included in the story, but with empathy, tact and no graphic details. Her adult books are great too, I highly recommend them, but just be careful if you are sensitive, as these contain strong language and explicit content.

Excellent book , great author

The story was good fun and tense or sad in places - a nice fairly lighthearted listen. But for me it was spoilt by the narrator whose attempted English accent was grating and odd given the book was clearly writin American English

Love the story but not the narrator
