I really enjoyed this prequel and getting to know Vic’s early self. I loved the Epilogue and how it tied it together with Legends and Lattes.

Cozy fantasy at its finest. Warm bread scents, quiet bookshops with stories inside stories, and a young orc discovering that community can be as rewarding as battle. Viv’s first romance is sweet and a little awkward, and the new cast is every bit as lovable as the original. A small town setting full of comfort, low stakes, high charm, and just enough adventure to keep the pages turning.

Very cute. Have not read legends and lattes yet, but read this to get a taste of the legends and lattes universe. It’s fairly mild, and I thought more plot would happen, but it didn’t. It was a bit underwhelming overall but still a quick and sweet read.

I put off reading Legends and Lattes for a while just because I wasn't sure it would be my vibe. Once I finally read it, I was completely obsessed. It was a beautiful, cozy book with just the right amount of tension and adventure. Some way, somehow, Bookshops & Bonedust managed to take all the best parts of Legends & Lattes and be more.
Knowing Viv's history, I wasn't sure where a prequel would fall and how it would keep the cozy vibes alive, but it managed to exceed every expectation. There was just enough of a conflict to keep the tension alive, but the main focus was truly the coziness factor.
Turns out cozy fantasy is where I belong.

Really nice prequel to the first book. It gives the same cozy vibes you’re probably looking for.
