My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Confectioner Chronicles is a four-book series by author Claire Luana.

Wren is a confectioner apprentice working in a confection shop. When a mysterious man shows up asking questions about her cupcakes, she is unsure of who he is or what she wants. Reluctantly she goes with him to meet the GuildMaster and thrown into a world she never knew existed and discovers an ability she never knew she possessed.

But when the Guild Master is poisoned after eating of her cupcakes, she only has a limited time to prove her innocence and find out who really framed her before the king’s inquisitor arrives.

With this, Wren learns more about herself as overcomes the obstacles that are put in her way.

This is an interesting fantasy filled with mystery story with many twists and twists as well as fun characters.

Being such a wild ride, the reader will be hooked from the beginning.

The Confectioner Chronicles: The Complete Fantasy Mystery Series
By: Claire Luana
5 out of 5 stars

This is a series that I loved reading. It has all four of the stories in the Confectioner Chronicle series that are fun and entertaining to read. It has wonderful characters that I fell in love with and wanted them to succeed in whatever they did. There is action, danger, romance, and suspense in these books. There are times when I was turning pages wondering what was going to happen next. I loved the character of Wren. She is strong, intelligent, and independent. Her story is one that pulled me in from the very beginning and didn’t let me go until I read the final page of the final story. This is a YA fantasy novel and I loved how the books included magic and mystery. Besides Wren, there are other characters that I grew to care about and enjoyed reading about them and their interactions with Wren. Many of them are helpful to her. Then there are those with their own agenda what will do anything to make their plans and agenda happen. Don’t miss out on an exciting series that you won’t be able to put down. I highly recommend it. The stories that are included in this set are The Confectioner’s Guild/The Confectioners Coup/The Confectioner’s Truth/The Confectioner’s Exile.

4 Stars

Life is definitely not better under the rule of the new emperor. Wren and her few friends are forced to flee Maradis. In her search for Lucas, she manages to gather an alliance with some new and old friends. They need to take back their city but the craziness has upped a notch putting her life at stake yet again. Will Wren be able to survive or will the evil finally win?

There were so many heart stopping moments in this book. You didn’t know who to trust. With many twists and turns, the author kept you on the edge of your seat. Like any war, there were losses and people had to make sacrifices. Some of them saddened me while others shocked me. This was an amazing conclusion to the Confectioner Chronicles. Though the ending satisfied me, I was a little upset. I enjoyed this series so much that I was sad to see it end. Thank you Ms Luana for bringing this world and these characters to life.

4 out of 5 stars

As I likely mentioned in my reviews of the first two books in this trilogy, this series is meant to be read in sequential order. Each book ties in well with the storyline of the book before it, picking up where we left off.
I really enjoyed this series as a whole, I don’t read this genre too often but every now and then a book will catch my eye. The Confectioner’s Chronicles truly surpassed my expectations, I enjoyed the series from each cover to the conclusion. There was never a shortage of excitement, twists and turns to keep you on the edge of your seat. Wren was a great character with depth and I enjoyed seeing the character progression throughout the series.
It’s difficult to share the aspects of this book I really enjoyed without running the risk of spoiling anything. That being said, I felt like the Confectioner’s Truth wrapped up the Chronicles very well and I wasn’t left disappointed. Claire Luana has crafted must read series for sure!

5 +++++++++++++++ Stars

I can not believe this series is over 🙁 This story had me a hot mess and started right in on page 1 and never let go till the end and then it stayed with me for a bit after.

There was a lot going on in this story, we met a lot of new people and visited many new places..I loved this part and I felt as if I was right there with Wren as she was making quick decisions and having a lot of inner battles…I found myself trying to help her and felt like I was feeling everything she was. This character has grown so much through these books and I have totally fallen in love with her, and poor Hale…I miss what feels like the old days with Hale and now there he is regretting so many things, this made me sad.

I’m not going into any more than that. You have to read this, the twists and turns had me on the edge of my seat the whole book. This author has done an amazing job with this series. I’ve loved every word and every page of all of these books. I absolutely can not wait to read them all again!! She ended this series beautifully and in my humble opinion sets the bar high for any other books in this genre.

Brilliant and I can’t wait to read what is to come from this author!! This is one of those books/series that deserves so much more than 5 stars.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I give The Confectioner’s Truth (Confectioner Chronicles Book 3) by Claire Luana, 5 stars.
**This review contains spoilers from previous books in the series.**

It seems like nothing will be right again. Wren has fought to be where she is today, but where has it brought her? Betrayed by a good friend. While another lays dead from something Wren encouraged. And the man she loves — gone from her and she doesn’t know where — or if he’s even alive. She can’t do this anymore. But the new king may just be even worse than the previous. There is a dark plot going on, destroying what little left Wren holds dear. Can she find the strength to help stop it? Does she even want to try? Or should she just flee?

This series has been absolutely amazing. And this, the conclusion, is no different in that regard. Each book seems to have gotten darker and this is definitely the darkest one yet. There is so much despair, especially in the beginning of the book. But there is also action and love amongst the heartbreak. Not to mention the characters. Many of them are back from the previous books. And the growth they have all gone through is astounding. Some for better, some for worse. Some seem lost, others find their true meaning. Plus there are new characters we meet, both ones we love and ones we hate. Some, we’re not sure about just yet.

Yes, this is the conclusion to this series and is does not disappoint in that aspect. It does bring us a certain kind of closure. But my heart breaks, because I really want to see so much more of this world. Dear author, can we please see more of this wonderful world?

For those lovers of fantasy in a world of action and twists and turns, I highly recommend this whole series.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Confectioner’s Truth is the final book in The Confectioner Chronicles by Claire Luana. It is the final gorgeous cover and the final magical visit that we will get and I am so book depressed. When I first started this series a few months ago I immediately got swept up into this world that Luana had created so vividly and I have been enamored ever since. The way these covers scream magic and adventure the story lives up inside with an incredible world-building. I almost felt as if I was within the novel itself, something I absolutely love.

The magic, action, and adventure continues for Wren a couple weeks after the second book, The Confectioner’s Coup. I would highly recommend that you read these books in order, including the prequel because this is as mentioned a finale to a series. We meet a lot of new characters, get some new romances, unexpected tears, and a conclusion to remember. I can’t wait to see what will come next from Claire Luana! I am sure it will be outstanding.

The Confectioners Guild (The Confectioners Chronicles) by Claire Luana
4 Stars

I adore this author! I enjoyed her Moonburner series but after reading this book, I know I’m going to love this one! Claire Luana is so talented and imaginative. Who would have thought about putting magic in cupcakes?

Wren doesn’t know she possesses magic and infuses it in the desserts she makes. The secret is revealed to her when she’s asked to join the Confectioners Guild. Unfortunately she’s framed for murder soon after. Now she must navigate her way through the political and magical mess to clear her name. Not knowing who to trust, Wren must get to the bottom of the conspiracy.

This is the first book in this series and it will keep you intrigued until the very end. Just when you think you have it figured out, the author throws another loop at you. I loved the characters and the storyline is so interesting. Towards the end I was literally holding my breath waiting to see what would happen. I can’t wait to read the next part!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Confectioner’s Truth (Confectioner Chronicles Book 3) by Claire Luana is a fantasy,  thriller, romance story. It is also the last book in the Confectioner’s Chronicles series.  Claire once again has woven her magic with the perfect blend of mystery and suspense,  action and danger, romance and intrigue, heartache and love, humour and fun. It’s  another page turner that is so engrossing and enthralling that it feels like it is over  before it began.     Wren is heartbroken and still reeling from the loss and betrayal of others. On the run,  tired, scared, hurt and faced with her past all the while the political unrest continues  and Wren wonders if she will ever have her family back and lead a normal life again.     Once again it is a book that should be on everyone’s to read list.

4 out of 5 stars

As if I wasn’t already invested in this series after the first book, The Confectioner’s Coup has me hooked and looking forward to reading more. I have really come to love Claire Luana’s style of writing, each story has so much to offer really making you feel every emotion. Not only is the storyline exciting and packed with twists and turns that kept me engaged from start to finish but the character development is also just as great. I have enjoyed learning more about Wren as the series progresses and seeing just what kind of chaos will find her next. As with the first book, The Confectioner’s Coup left me wanting more and anxious to see what is to come. Honestly looking forward to reading book number three of this unique, entertaining series.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Confectioner’s Coup (Confectioner Chronicles Book 2) by Claire Luana is a fantasy  story that should not be missed. Claire weaves her magic with just the right amount of  mystery and suspense, action and danger, romance and intrigue, heartache and love,  humour and fun. I enjoyed the story so much that it finished before I was ready and I  didn’t even notice because I was so enthralled to find out what was going to happen  next.     Wren was falsely accused of murder and barely survived, now she is having to face  enemies, both old and new as she tries to solve the mystery behind disappearing Guild  members.     There are some twists and turns that sneak up on you but once again it is a book that  should be on everyone’s to read list.

5 Stars

This was the continued story of Wren and I loved it as much as the first part of this series. She just can’t win when it comes to staying out of the line of fire with being framed for murder and getting out of that to now suspecting the king of being behind guild members being kidnapped and now the enemy has entered the city.

There was some parts of this story that made me so angry and then parts that were so so sad. You don’t really ever know what your gonna get when you open up one of this authors books and I love that.

Can’t wait for the next story in this series, I have so many questions about Hale and what his future holds as well as Wren and the Guild itself.

I Love this series and I love this author and I highly recommend starting at the beginning and reading these books and let me also mention that the covers on these books are completely awesome!!

Loved it!
