At one point in the novel there's a magical burst which affects all the women on the island and their affliction is so shocking I couldn't believe what I was reading! I love that Ross has the courage to not only depict such a mischievous event but carry its logic through so we see how it results in chaotic transformation. Wild enough for you? This is only the beginning of a fantastical journey infused with the awe-inspiring pleasure of dreams and the intensity of nightmares. He's also haunted by his wife who died in the ocean and literally stalks the islands while her body gradually disintegrates. But Xavier also possesses the title of macaenus, a coveted and specially appointed position in which he prepares a once in a lifetime meal for every person exactly when they most need it. This is a super power I never knew I needed but think about how convenient it would be! No more rooting through cluttered spice racks. His special ability is being able to season food just with the palms of his hands. The day begins with Xavier being tasked with preparing a wedding feast for an influential man's daughter. This novel introduces readers to the archipelago of Popisho, a fictional series of islands which form a nation of people possessed with magical qualities and real world concerns.
