“Things don’t have to stay as what they started out as.”
➽ Legends and Lattes is the perfect cozy Fantasy! It follows Viv, a retired Orc adventurer who is searching for a new perspective after quitting fighting. Because she has experienced the wonder of coffee, she is determined to open her own coffee shop ... only most people have never heard of the drink. I loved seeing Viv try to build her shop, attract customers and find employees. We've got Thimle, a talented baker and Tandri, a succubus and the new barista! There are so many descriptions of gorgeous pastries and delicious coffee, it was making me so hungry 😂
➽ I loved the character interactions as well! Viv and Tandri are slowly growing closer and I thought that their romance was sweet. It was also lovely seeing all of them work together at the coffee shop, you could really tell that they were a cool team! The book had the perfect balance of a lighthearted slice of life story, but also the consequences of Viv's past employment catching up with her. The only thing I didn't like were the numerous scene changes. The scenes were so short and the switch to yet another scene was so sudden and jarring. It made it hard to connect to the characters at time, as I would get really into an interaction, only for it to be cut short.

Such a sweet read! It made me so happy because, largely, this is fluff and about building a community.
