This is a gorgeous book and I ate. it. up. Oscar is a Magician's hand who has befriended Callie, who is the Healer's apprentice. After Wolf, the Magician's apprentice, is killed by a horrible monster (and delivered back to the shop in small pieces a la bag), Oscar decides he must do some investigating. Soon, the children of the village become sick and it is up to Oscar and Callie to find a cure- magic or not.
This story is about love, loss, grief, curiosity and courage. Ursu's language propels the reader through the novel so quickly, one must return to savor the beauty of some of her words. Now, I can't wait to go back and read Breadcrumbs!
