I think I liked this better than Legends and Lattes just due to the over arching threat/mystery plaguing the main character. Very similar vibes otherwise.

I really got into it in the second half of the book. The first half was interesting, maybe I was in the wrong headspace at the time. The characters are cute and likeable, the plot progresses at a steady pace, and I didn't want it to end. A lovely prequel to Legends & Lattes.

this was a nice prequel. i enjoyed getting to see viv’s origin story. how she got the sword and her love for books. i liked the characters she met and i loved how it was tied together in the epilogue, set after the end of the first book.
simple, easy-read.

An absolute joy of a book that had me engaged from the first pages. 

The characters were so vivid and I found myself in love with all the unique personalities - from major characters to side ones. It created a picture of a living community, where everybody has their own lives outside of the story (very thematic for the book!) Potroast was an absolute gem as well, and reminded me a lot of the pug in our family.

It's amazing how a story with so much action can still feel so relaxing and reflective. I loved the ways the stories intertwined before eventually colliding. They led into each other well, with elements showing up that I knew would be relevant later, even if I didn't know how yet! I also got very excited that the Bonedust part of the title was actually relevant!

The epilogue was also so soft and makes me long for the story after the story. However, the main story is enjoyable without knowledge of Legends and Lattes and stands alone as a gem of its own.

I prefer Legends and Lattes, but this was still a good time and I would very happily read more from this world. :)

This took me weirdly long to read (I think cause I was busy etc) but I absolutely loved this and am so glad I finally got around to finishing it!! And such a satisfying ending :)

It was lovely to get some pre-history on Viv before Legends and Lattes! It was very sweet and soft.
