This book and the series is fantastic but this is the lightest and least heavy so if this was hard to read at all then be careful going forward

This was a fun read! I enjoyed this adventure. The writing is cute and light. If you like A Wizards Guide to Defensive Baking by T. Kingfisher you will like this. Just be warned their is blood involved.  Ceony is a paper magician unfortunately if you ask her. She meets her mentor and he changes her world.  He shows her different ways to use her magic and she cooks great meals. A perfect match until an old frenemy shows up and steals Emery's heart literally. Ceony goes after the culprit and finds herself in Emery's heart floating through his most memorable moments.

Were you looking for a Magic School Bus look inside of the heart? This is that book. Typically, one character on a solo mission can be boring, but this was great! I wish I hadn't had the Magic School Bus theme song in my head the whole time though...

Enjoyable book, but feels a bit lacking in something.. not sure what. Interesting take on paper magic, but also a bit too childish in parts
