Legends & Lattes by Travis Baldree

This was cute 🥰
I wasn’t sure if this was going to be my thing and it’s not like a new favourite for me but I did really enjoy it! This basically reminded me of like a Hallmark Christmas movie but a fantasy version and worked well for the beginning of the Christmas season (not that it’s anything to do with Christmas but it’s the vibe)
The way that people talk about this book made me think this would have literally no plot at all but there was definitely enough of a story to keep me interested. I think I might have struggled if it had been any longer but as it was, it worked for me.
Unfortunately, I wasn’t a huge fan of the author reading the audiobook and had to listen to it on 1x speed because if I had it any faster I found it quite grating. And if I was going to be nitpicky, it for some reason really bothered me that they kept referring to Tandri as “the woman”… I don’t know why but it just felt weird and unnatural.
But overall this was a good pallet cleanser to read alongside Oathbringer for me, definitely not the kind of thing I want to read all the time but it was a good time.
