I was waffling between giving this 4 or 5 stars, but the epilogue really clinched it for me. Poetic justice. And prior to that, a really sweet, comfortable read that made me tear up several times.

So so so cute. The first chapter was a bit hard to get into, since you are dumped into the world but after that?? Ugh so freaking cute and makes me want a latte and cinnamon roll so badly

I guess “cozy fantasy” really lives up to its name, because that’s exactly what Legends & Lattes is. It’s not action-packed or anything; it’s an orc who left behind her violent lifestyle in favor of something more peaceful, which she does by opening up a coffee shop. That’s… pretty much the main focus, getting the comforting vibes of a growing coffee shop.

I discovered after finishing the book that it came out of NaNoWriMo, and… well, it kind of read like one. It wasn’t anything terrible, but nothing felt developed in a way that I found attention-grabbing. The characters were just okay, the plot had a lot left to be desired (though, at the same time, this wasn’t entirely the focus either)— Honestly, it was a little cheesy with the whole “power of friendship” approach, and it especially made the romance feel forced.

I will say, I think Baldree did a nice job with describing the coffee shop and its regulars. I can see why readers were/are drawn to this book. I guess it’s fair to say that this wasn’t really for me.
