The Confectioners Guild by Claire Luana – Review by Kerry Baker

The Confectioner's Guild (The Confectioner Chronicles Book 1)The Confectioner’s Guild by Claire Luana
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Confectioners Guild by Claire Luana is the first book in The Confectioner Chronicles. This book is a great example of a YA fantasy novel and is one I would highly recommend.
Wren loved to bake. And everyone was always receptive of what she made. However Wren never expected to find out that could be because they are magic. From the moment she finds out though she is thrust into a whole new world
And not only does she find out about the magic she is also accused of murder by magic!
Wren sets out to find out who the real culprit is and clear her name – quickly before she is framed for a murder she didn’t commit.

I have read books before by this author and always really enjoyed them but this book has to be my favourite so far. It is such a unique idea that really appealed to me. I loved Wren’s character. I was sucked into her journey immediately and could not stop reading about her adventures. This is a brilliant start to a new series.

The Confectioner’s Guild (The Confectioner Chronicles Book 1)
By: Claire Luana
5 out of 5 stars

The story The Confectioner’s Guild (The Confectioner Chronicles Book 1) by Claire Luana is a YA/fantasy suspense book. It is a story that draws you in from the very beginning and I found myself not wanting to put it down until I had read the last page. It has mystery, suspense, and at times had me turning pages to find out what happens next. You read about some sweet confections being made that made me hungry for the sugary treats. I loved reading about Wren. She is a young girl whose past has a sad note to it. She is someone who knows that she is not the one who murdered the head of the Confectioner’s Guild however now has to fight uphill to prove her innocence. She must navigate her way through the mountain of evidence that seems to be overwhelming at times. She has an ally that vouches for her and others who believe that she is innocent as well. I enjoyed reading about the interactions with the friends that Wren makes. There are also those whose motives are suspicious and you wonder whose side they are on. This story has some twists that I didn’t see coming and revelations that had me with my mouth open. A bit of romance is added to the mix in this book as well. Will Wren and her friends find the evidence that proves her to be not guilty of murder? Read this story to find out. This is a wonderfully written story that I would recommend reading. It is the first book in a series and I look forward to reading the next one.

This is a Young Adult book that is a new series for this author. It has magic and the twists and turns that go along with that and left me turning page after page until I finished it. Wren is a confectionist who makes cupcakes that has no idea the powerful they are. When that power gets her into some trouble she meets an inspector who tries to help her. Will she manage to figure out her powers to save her life? Loved the characters! I highly recommend this book!
