So, so cute! I absolutely adored this dive back into the world. Not to mention getting some of Viv's backstory. Just a great addition.

a lovely and warm story!! started off a little slow but the second half really picked up. i think i like it more than legends & lattes, but it took me a bit to warm up to it. i love satchel so much and the epilogue was extremely sweet.

the only reason this is not 5 stars is because i don’t really enjoy prequels. but i truly think i enjoyed this slightly more than the first.

5.0

An absolute joy of a book that had me engaged from the first pages.

The characters were so vivid and I found myself in love with all the unique personalities - from major characters to side ones. It created a picture of a living community, where everybody has their own lives outside of the story (very thematic for the book!) Potroast was an absolute gem as well, and reminded me a lot of the pug in our family.

It's amazing how a story with so much action can still feel so relaxing and reflective. I loved the ways the stories intertwined before eventually colliding. They led into each other well, with elements showing up that I knew would be relevant later, even if I didn't know how yet! I also got very excited that the Bonedust part of the title was actually relevant!

The epilogue was also so soft and makes me long for the story after the story. However, the main story is enjoyable without knowledge of Legends and Lattes and stands alone as a gem of its own.
