Giving this one 5 stars just because I adored it and thought it was just lovely ☺️ I truly wanted to just read it forever. It was so cozy and sweet and cute with just a smidge of intrigue and mystery to keep things moving a bit. I'm picky about fantasy female characters, and normally male-written ones fall short, but Baldree definitely does not 👏 My only gripe is wanting to know more about some of the characters' backgrounds, especially Tandri.

I love the overall premise of this hulking badass gives up the things that make her a traditional badass and takes a different kind of brave risk to do something that on the surface seems so chill and easy after kicking asses lol. Even when elements from her old life tries to pull her back in, she has to actively make the choice to not fall back into it and to choose her new path again and again. And I just adore her found family she makes along the way. Viv and Tandri are especially cute together, and I want so much more about them.
