Legends and Lattes

"A novel of high fantasy... and low stakes"

You get exactly as it reads on the tin for this book. It feels to me like a romantic comedy in book form. An orc woman stops adventuring to start a coffee shop. What follows is hi-jinks, suspiciously convenient events, and mostly non-conflicts. Even the worst thing that happens to the main character in the book is not so very terrible in the end.

Unless you are bothered by same-sex relationships, nothing in this book is a game changer for fantasy nor will it challenge your view of the world. Personally, I loved it. It's like a warm cup of coffee in the morning.

This book is super cozy! If you need a fantasy pick for a reading challenge and don't really like fantasy, I'd highly recommend it!

Simple and cozy DnD coffee shop AU, and just what I needed.

What a lovely time! It left me feeling refreshed and joyful.

Friends running a café. Very sweet. Lots of descriptions of pastries, so don't read it while hungry! 😉

Lovely

Like a cup of hot tea (or coffee), with a warm fire on a cold day. Well plotted, nice character development, and so kind.
