This book was... fine. I felt similarly about Legends and Lattes, but hoped maybe the second book would have improved in the first. I can't say it connected with me any more this time. The interactions between characters were witty in a way that sometimes came across as trite, and the detailed descriptions of the layout of rooms got tiring after awhile. I do wonder if some of this is because I'm jaded after reading a lot of books in the cosy/hopeful genre though, perhaps someone newer to the trope would get more out of it.
