Different races like Orcs, Tieflings, Gnomes, etc have been an interest of mine since I found out about Dnd. At first I was kind of hesitant about the book because of the coveršŸ˜…. It's not bad it's just not the covers I'm used to so I thought it would be a book I wasn't used to in a bad way but it was a book I wasn't used to in a good way. Even though it references things like violence and Gore or it's still very light-hearted and fun and non-confrontational if that makes any sense.

Grab a latte and a cinnamon roll and curl up with this cozy story of an ogre making a new life for herself by opening a cafe and introducing people to coffee. The descriptions of coffee and food items are so scrumptious, you'll definitely want something sweet on hand! The character development is so fun to watch; the respect and care the main characters have for each other throughout the book is inspiring. I love the message in this story- having a good community is good fortune and more valuable than gold. This is definitely a cozy read with a touch of slow burn romance (no spice).

A very cozy coffee read, nice for curling up next to a window with a warm cup of tea, not really anything special or great, good for getting out of a reading slump and kind of a no-brainer read

i enjoyed this. it was an easy read. as the tag-line described it was low-stakes but i still devoured it in 24 hours. fun fantasy world with all sorts of characters, my favourite of which was durias; he was mysterious in a subtlety comical way. i loved the side characters, and i would have read it even sooner if iā€™d known the story was lgbtq+!!

The tagline ā€œHigh Fantasy, Low Stakesā€ applies in such incredible fashion for this novel. Iā€™ve read so many stories with combat & bloodshed at their core, so reading a calming story about a gay orc & gay tiefling making a coffee shop is a very nice departure from that stress. 

ALSO I LOVE THIMBLE SO MUCH MY SWEET BABY BOY AAA

If fire triggers you, please donā€™t read this.  It has a very intense fire scene.

Very cute! A nice break from the gigantic page counts and world-ending stakes common in fantasy.
