Tusks, Tails & Teacakes by T.L. Stone
5.0
โSometimes the bravest thing an adventurer can do is plant roots instead of pulling up stakes.โ
I started this book the same day it hit my email, but didn't get very far at first. I had a huge case of sleepies and was opting to pile on the naps rather than read, but when I finally got beyond the first chapter, I finished this book in three hours. One thing about me is I very much enjoy the cozy fantasy genre. I love sitting down and enjoying a book where the characters are doing simple things and all we're doing is learning about their past adventures, meeting the new friends they are making, and going through the motions of overcoming rather simple challenges. Simple being very understated because restoring an inn to its former glory is no simple feat.
Tusks, Tails & Teacakes hits all the marks for what I want in a cozy fantasy and it very much made me want to go bake pastries and experiment with my starter.
This story follows Lira who has just returned to her home of Wayside to retrieve her grandmother's cookbook that she hid in a tavern way back when she left to go on her life of adventuring. Only things don't go according to plan because the book has been walled in and someone else broke into the tavern and is trying to steal from the till the same night she's there. This is the start of a very great and grand friendship between Sass and Lira.
If you liked Legends and Lattes or Cursed Cocktails, you might really adore this story. And from the sounds of it, Sass's story is next!
What you can expect:
๐ Baked Goods
๐ Found Family
๐ Bookwyrms (new and old magical creatures)
๐ LGBTQ Rep
๐ Neurodivergent Rep
๐ Low Stakes
๐ Small Town
Thank you so much to the Nerd Fam and the Author for the arc!
