This has become one of my new favorites, and I really hope we get more! This was a light, cute story about a poor elf girl learning to cook, make friends, and recognize her own worth.

Mell and all of the side characters are fun to read about. They each have their own distinct personality, and I loved watching them interact with each other. Is it the most in-depth characterization ever? No. But it's cute and it's exactly what I wanted. I hope that if we get more novels, we get more relationship building between the crew!

The cooking descriptions were great and made me want to cook more myself! I also thought that the art pages were really well done. The characters look great and I appreciated seeing the food illustrated as well.

This book is not action or plot heavy so if you are looking for something along those lines, this is not for you.
