Your favorite orc barista takes us on another adventure in this prequel to Legends & Lattes. Viv is injured in a fight and is forced by her company to stay and rest in the nearby town until they come back around. The tiny town offers little entertainment, and Viv ends up stumbling across a bookshop where the sassy owner makes it her mission to make Viv read all her favorite books. The story follows Viv and a new band of friends as they tackle obstacles big and small.
The audiobook was fantastic. Having an author read their book always lends a certain intimacy, and you could hear the care and pride in Baldree's voice throughout. Bookshops & Bonedust is captivating, emotional, and spirited. This is truly a book for readers and is a wonderful addition to the Viv universe. I enjoyed L&L, but B&B is definitely my favorite of the two. The pace was just right, with enough detail in the interpersonal relationships to make them realistic, but also fast-paced action scenes that kept you hooked.
4.5/5
