Such a comfortable book! I decided to listen to the audiobook before I bought the hardcover, and it truly is a treat. The author, Travis Baldree, entrances listeners with a variety of voices for each of the characters and intricate world-building details. This book is definitely YA, but I can see anyone enjoying this (there are a few curse words and a little violence if you are looking to gift this book to younger ages).

I will be doing a review of the actual writing once I read (or re-read) the hardcover version.

This was my first cozy romance, and it's definitely 5 stars for me! ⭐ Although I was initially disoriented by the timeline, I quickly realized the story was cleverly structured, starting with the main character's past. Once I grasped the premise, the story quickly gained momentum and flowed together seamlessly. I was particularly drawn to Viv's storyline—her desire to leave her past behind and open a coffee shop was compelling. It was fascinating to see her pursue her dreams while navigating the challenges that arose, including the arrival of a certain love interest. It was a delightful read! ☕💖

I love this story and the special edition is beautiful. Last time I read it, I gave it a 5, but on reading again, I felt it deserved a 4.

Mainly, the plot with the Madrigal bothers me. First, that Viv can’t pay the monthly dues to the local crime boss on principal, but she finds it acceptable to pay them through pastry. Seems like a bit of a plot hole. Next, that the Madrigal is written as sort of a more sympathetic character after this, despite the fact that she is in fact still a crime boss who demands payments from everyone whether they can pay or not. Just because she helps Viv, it’s still a fact that she’s hustling other businesses through her gang of thugs.

This is a cozy lil' read. A sweet story about found family and fate without being too saccharine. Set in a high fantasy world.

I expected more fantasy adventure (or any, really). Instead it's the "npc" side of the fantasy. The non-adventurers who keep the world moving and the coffee hot while the heroes are out slaying dragons. Not the best, but certainly not the worst.
