Recipes for an Unexpected Afterlife by Deston J. Munden
2.5
If you read Legends and Lattes and wanted more, I think this is the book for you. Personally, it didn't hit that same note for me. Could be my mood more than anything wrong with the book itself.
It hits every beat Legends and Lattes does though as far as cozy reads. You have found family, lush descriptions of foods, a whimsical world. If you want cozy and sweat but don't mind the rest, give this a shot. If you're already a bit burned out on the genre to the point where you're a bit knit picky, maybe hold off until you're in the right mood for another cozy fantasy.
Pros:
- The world building and general plot was great. There is a lot of love and care put into building a world for the undead.
- Food descriptions- if you want them, this has them.
Cons:
- I was not vibing with the writing. It is an ARC so there's a chance some things will be edited later. Who knows. It wasn't enough that I would avoid future books by Munden but it was enough that I was struggling to get into it when I otherwise was not in the mood.
- The pacing was probably a huge part of it.
