Very cozy, very low stakes. It’s a slice of life, healing anime in the form of a high fantasy book and it’s sweet.
The only thing that kind of annoyed me was the characters kept being referred to by their races. I understand the logic behind this from a writing perspective given the high fantasy setting, but it made Viv seem a little racist in a way that was clearly unintentional.

Sweet. The romance could have been developed more (felt neutral about them together), but I liked the story of growth and friendship.

Legends & Lattes is the epitome of cozy fantasy.
As a D&D lover, and a fantasy lover, this book ticked so many boxes for me. The found family was amazing, both in terms of Viv’s adventuring party and her new coffee shop family. I also really loved how much care was in this book, and how everyone in the community that Viv built had a perfectly shaped place for themselves.
I definitely have a soft spot for Thimble, but all of the characters are lovely! This is definitely a book where the ensemble shines, and they all add something to the story.
I will definitely be reading more from Travis Baldree, and also listening to more of his narration. I’d highly recommend the audiobook, he is incredible! 4 stars

Listened to the audiobook read by the author, who was a surprisingly adept voice actor. This book is VERY cozy, not to my usual taste but I found it to have just enough substance to keep me hooked. I particularly loved how Baldree described the flavor profiles of each food—so evocative and rich. My only pet peeve is that I wish the food/drinks/associated technology were more fantastical. It felt like a bit of a lost opportunity to only stick with conventional coffeeshop fare.

Lovely book. Classic without being contrived, and really good when you want a satisfying read. Reminds me somewhat of Juliet Marillier and Becky Chambers. Lighthearted and filled with kindness, but also with some real tension and a satisfying conclusion, complete with relatable characters you can't help but root for.
I really enjoyed reading this and I am excited to read the author's other books.
