Legends & Lattes mixed with Coffee Talk in a modern setting. A cosy novella about ex-guard Gwen, a drider who sets up her own café.

- If you like cosy coffee shop stories, you can't go wrong with this one. Heartwarming, low stakes and chilled. I really enjoyed the characters. However, I think the author could have expanded this into a lover book and gone more indepth into some of the situations and the brevity of a novella meant they felt a little skipped over sometimes.

- Who doesn't like a fantasy and queer setting. Driders, minotaurs, moth people galore and being queer is completely normalized. Perfect for light LGBT+ representation.

A short and light but cosy and fuzzy novella. Perfect for those who enjoy modern coffee shop AUs with a fantasy twist.
