It is a comforting read, but I found myself a bit bored. I may not be the right reader for cosy fantasy after all. To me, it read like a nice fluffy fanfiction that goes on for a bit too long. I found myself intrigued by secondary characters, wanting to know more of their backstory, instead of truly being invested in Viv's story.
The romance plot is not central but it is cute.
While there are interesting ideas and themes, I think they are explored in a way that is too surface-level to be memorable (to me - but many swear by this series so I would still recommend it).

I wanted to like this soooooo bad. I just found it soooo slow, and the language also flipped between modern and old timey? Lgbt love story was barely there. I feel bad hating on it so much but I was looking forward to this book for awhile!!
God, what a letdown. This book had been hyped up as everything I’m into: fantasy, coziness, romance—and ALL of it fell flat.
The characters didn’t feel distinct from each other, the vibes were “cozy” but also dreadfully BORING, and the romance was almost nonexistent.
This could’ve—should’ve—been so much better. I almost wish I hadn’t read it.

This is exactly what I needed. If you’re looking for a cozy book, give this one a try.
Anyone ever wonder about the story of the tavern or innkeeper who used to be an adventurer? This is the book for you. Especially if you're a fan of the found family trope. I'm fond of big smashy orc characters myself and to see one portrayed as also a reader and a cafe lover? Yep. Hit me in the sweet spot. A good read, especially for RPG players who just want a taste of the everyday life in their game worlds.
