After falling in love with her in Bookshops and Bonedust, I was delighted to see that this book featured Fern. The foul-mouthed Rattkin bookseller stole my heart then, and she continued to squeeze it in this cozy adventure. Travis Baldree yet again delivers on amazing new characters, making me smile, laugh, and get just a touch teary-eyed.
While I would still consider this cozy fantasy, it does toe that line. Unlike the first two books which were anchored in fortifying and protecting a home of sorts, this is the first real outward adventure that we experience in this series. The catalyst of Fern’s crisis of life fulfillment is all-too relatable. There are outside forces working against this trio of unlikely companions, giving the reader a fair amount of action and a few twists. But overall, it’s a low-stress, low-angst, and just overall fun read that I enjoyed start to finish.
