Blog Tour – The Miraculous Sweetmakers: The Frost Fair

The Blurb:

An amazing and captivating, curl-up-on-the-sofa debut about a magical frost fair and the lasting power of friendship.

It’s a cold winter during the Great Frost of 1683. Thomasina and Anne are the best of friends, one running her father’s sweet shop and the other the apprentice at the family apothecary – together they sell their goods on the frozen River Thames. When a family tragedy turns Thomasina’s world upside down, she is drawn to a mysterious conjuror and the enchanted frost fair.

But soon the world of Father Winter threatens to claim everything she holds dear. Will they be able to solve the magical mysteries that surround them . . . ?

The Review (so far):
A sweet book full of friendship and magic! I’m nearly finished with this book and I’m absolutely loving it!! There is so much magic and whimsy in this book that makes it perfect to curl up with on a cold day. Thomasina is an excellent main character and I’ve really enjoyed reading about her adventure with the Frost Fair. Thomasina and her family are experiencing grief so differently throughout this book, and I think it’s being portrayed really well. I’m really loving Thomasina’s friendship with Anne, and they way they’re working together so closely on their project. The Frost Fair itself is so interesting to read about: the opposite of the day-time fair held on the frozen Thames. I’m really interested in seeing how this story resolves, and how Thomasina’s problems come to an end.

I’m loving the way this book is written: the descriptions are exquisite, the colours so vivid, I can almost see it all there right in front of me. I think this is going to be a solid 4 or 4.5 star read, and hopefully I’ll have it finished by the end of the week! A massive thank you to The Write Reads, Harper Collins, and Tasha Hastings for providing me with an eARC of this book in exchange for an honest review. I’m sorry I’ve not managed to finish this yet, it’s been a busy couple of weeks!! #
