This book was so cute and cozy and just what I needed. 

If you’re wanting some epic fantasy with adventure and big battles and an exhaustive cast of characters this isn’t for you. However if you want a heartwarming story with a small cast of characters that become like a family this book is absolutely for you!

Viv is an orc who’s tired of battles and adventures. She gets sore easily now and just wants a nice quiet life so she settles down in a town to open a coffee shop. 

Throughout the book she meets new neighbors and friends that help her repair and run this coffee shop. Through the course of the book they become like a family.

There’s also a cute love story between our man character Viv and a succubus named Tandri. You don’t get a ton of LGBT+ relationships in fantasy that goes well so it’s nice to see one not end in death or some other dramatic fashion.

This book would make a perfect Autumnal read or if you’re like me and looking for something to read between autumn and winter. Really this book is perfect to read at any time!
