Legends & Lattes by Travis Baldree
medium-paced
- Strong character development? No
2.75
A very light read.
I did not get any "romantic froth" from this book, I got coworkers with no romantic tension who kiss and I can't understand why.
I don't get depth from any of the characters. I got the inkling of a building community theme but it didn't feel fully formed.
I enjoy "slice of life" stories, but this slice was a surface skim off the top instead of a full slice with layers.
I read this on audiobook, I think it would have taken me much longer to get through it if I had to physically look at each page. I was mildly entertained so 2.75 stars.
I had previously read the prequel bookshops and bonedust, which I enjoyed more though not enough to understand the hype.
I would label these books as middle grade fantasy instead of romantasy, as there is no romance. Characters kiss in kids media and it's not considered romance. The Lion King is more of a romance than this series, at least Simba and Nala have some romantic tension.
