This is such a delightful prequel, it’s interesting to see Viv-itching for a fight, ready to attack verusu the Viv we were introduced to in Legends & Lattes, ready to settle down. As its said in the book, a seed was planted in Viv on this journey that takes root.

Oh to be able to read by the ocean~

This one does have more excitement, more action than in Legends and Lattes with a necromancer on the loose and a mysterious man running around...

I also love the idea a fictional world having its own fictional stories-like when do we hear about the kinds of stories that D&D characters sit down and read? There’s been a bit more in media, but little peeks at the kinds of stories a world tells itself is great! Also love Viv’s reaction to some of the more spicier recommendations.

I also love Fern, the swearing book shop owner that becomes Viv’s friends through her time of healing. I’m a lover of a heavy swearer and someone who keeps a dream going as hard as it is. Viv provides a breath of fresh air to the old shop, coming up with ideas to add more customers and fix up the shop too. I work in a bookstore so I’m quite familiar with some of their ideas-well minus the fresh coat of paint.

A lovely book that you want to just curl up with!

I wish I could give more stars, I guess I have to rank the other books I've read down by a little.
I think this is the first fantasy book that isn't labeled dark I've read recently, and it was a great choice. Turns out you don't need a big war, just a fantasy setting with lovely characters and calm storytelling and I don't want to stop reading.
Can't wait to start the original story tomorrow.
P. S. Did I mention it's great?

The sequel I didn't realise I was looking for. I wasn't completely sold on the book until the second half, but then it really clinched it with the building of friendships and romances. It actually made me a bit teary at the end.
Also the audio book is PHENOMENAL. Travis Baldree narrates it himself and it's awesome to hear him bring his own characters to life.

This was such a fun read! It took me a bit because I was only reading it on my lunch breaks, but I enjoyed every moment. No need to read Legends & Lattes first, honestly. These work wonderfully as true companion novels rather than series order reads. I deeply enjoyed the return to this world, Viv, and the tasty foods and cozy story notes. Highly recommend!
