I've been away for several weeks, and have missed posting here. So over the last week of the year I'll post a few times. Here's the first:
Chefs in this world are blessed with gifts; each of the five gods are connected in some way with food such as Selland with salt and Melissa with everything sweet. Adamantine Garland, called Ada, is a forty-something chef. She’s a former military leader, blessed with the ability to heal with herbs but trying to pass herself off as an ordinary cook until she learns that members of her former division were being killed off. Teenaged Princess Solenn of Braiz is in Verdania to marry the prince when her tongue awakens to the ability to sense poisons. Their paths are destined to intertwine. The plot, involving the procurement and use of substances with addictive mind and body-altering properties, is filled with characters who are introduced and made real and then all but forgotten. Still, I’m looking forward to reading the sequel when it becomes available.
