Just Wow!
Can't believe it took me so long to get to this.  Husband took both books on a recent trip.  Got to the end of Bk2 and simply restarted bk1.  He loved the characters so much.  Then, so did I.  (especially Satchel) Will treat myself to Bk2 over the summer. Wonderful characters, great one-liners, read by the creator himself.  Fun stuff!!!

The world that Travis Baldree creates is cozy and wonderful. Reading this book, similarly to Legends and Lattes, makes you want to curl up in a book nook with a warm cup of coffee or tea. It is not meant to be devoured, but instead, the pacing of it implore you to slow down and savor it.

For fans of D&D side quests, sweet no/low spice romance, and unexpected friend groups - this story has it all. It's a sparkling cozy fantasy with just enough mystery and adventure mixed in to keep the plot lively.

BOOKSHOPS & BONEDUST is a slightly bloodier (but still very cozy) prequel to LEGENDS & LATTES. Viv is an orc warrior, wounded in the leg just as she's starting out her career with Rackam's Ravens. She spends the summer recuperating from an injury in a seaside town named Murk, helping a local bookseller turn her shop around, and getting to know the cute dwarven baker down the street. It’s a story about finding joy and meaning and impermanence, appreciating something good even when you know it won’t last forever.

BOOKSHOPS & BONEDUST is an unabashed love letter to books, bookshops, and booksellers helping the local bookseller get out of a rut and fix up her store. Viv is recuperating from a leg injury which sidelines her while the Ravens go after a necromancer. She hates being left out of the action and forced to slow down, but starts to feel the benefits as her forced rest continues, discovering an interest in reading.

As a prequel, BOOKSHOPS & BONEDUST helps to explain why Viv would want to start a coffee shop when her adventuring is done, something Legends & Lattes didn’t dwell on in any detail because that wasn't the focus of its story. This can be read before, after, or completely separately from the first book, though the epilogue takes place after Legends & Lattes and contains minor spoilers.
