It's not all sugar and spice at Basil's Bakery, where seventeen-year-old Aurelie is an overworked, underappreciated apprentice. Still, the job offers stability, which no-nonsense Aurelie values highly, so she keeps her head down and doesn't dare to dream big—until a stranger walks in and hands her a set of Seeking stones. In a country where Seeking was old-fashioned even before magic went out of style, it's a rare skill, but Aurelie has it.

The stranger, who turns out to be a remarkably bothersome bounty hunter named Iliana, asks for Aurelie's help rescuing someone from the dangerous Underwood—which sounds suspiciously like an adventure. When the someone turns out to be Prince Hapless, the charming-but-aptly-named prince, Aurelie's careful life is upended. Suddenly, she finds herself on a quest filled with magic portals, a troll older than many trees (and a few rocks), and dangerous palace intrigue.

Even more dangerous are the feelings she's starting to have for Hapless. The more time Aurelie spends with him, the less she can stand the thought of going back to her solitary but dependable life at the bakery. Must she choose between losing her apprenticeship-or her heart?

I always love Emma Mills’ books, but this one was cool because it’s so different from the others! I loved the fantasy world and the unique take on how magic works. The voice actor had the perfect voice for the book as well.

So cute!

I enjoyed this book a lot the first time and the second time a little less but still good. I understood it a little better the second time which I think makes it more interesting. Its a sort of coming of age book. Hapless is very lovable. Actually all the characters are. The resolve at the end is very sweet.

cute, exciting, fantasy, romance
