This was oh so adorable and cozy, but a bit more brash than Legends and Lattes (than I remember! I don’t remember this much cursing in L&L!)

I loved Viv’s journey of becoming a reader & reading outside of her *usual* genre! It was so fun to read about the organizing of the bookshop & the epilogue / ending letter made me smile 🥰

I think I enjoyed this one more than the first 🤭, but it helped to have some recognition of the world were in and who Viv starts out as before opening up her coffee shop. This was adorable and action-packed, and I hope we get to see more of Viv and company in the future.

This book felt like a hug. A bookshop, a bakery, a bag of bones. Sure there's some drama and tension and mystery but mostly it's found friendship and learning to relax and to invest in each other.

I liked Legends & Lattes - but I love this one. The story flows a lot better than the one of the first book. The resolution of the conflicts was very satisfying, and the characters were very lovable.
I only have a few small things to nitpick (the romance felt a little flat, for example), but overall, I'm very happy with this book.

Not as great as the first, but still delightful nonetheless. I loved Fern, but something about the timing of some of her cursing didn’t work for me. Very cute, very cozy, not a ton of action, but still very fun

This book was AMAZING! Every single beat was so beautifully written and my heart felt bittersweet with the ending. I was so moved by the characters and their relationships. It is about time a book has a brilliant and powerful friendship being the main relationship. There was romance but it wasn’t the focus of the story and I’ve been dying for a fantasy book just like that. Read this book! Fair warning the epilogue has some spoilers for the book Legends and Lattes.

I loved this book even more than Legends & Lattes! This has all the cozy, high fantasy vibes of the Baldree’s first book but I really liked the pacing of this one. I also felt like the higher stakes/adventuring plot line was strung nicely throughout the entire book. I want to read Legends & Lattes again because I would like it more than my first read through, but I think I connected more with the small town, bookstore vibes more than the big city coffeeshop vibes too. I need more books just like this!!
