Legends & Lattes

Viv is a legendary warrior who has decided to put down her sword. She does one last job to secure her plans, and then retires. She goes to a small town and decides to open a coffee shop. In this lovely tale, she creates a little family in this new town.

This book is adorable. The cover says it all: “High fantasy with low stakes”. This books was such a breath of fresh air. While there is still conflict and a plot, it honestly feels so relaxing and happy. I loved all of the characters and the setting. All of the descriptions of the food and the coffee made everything feel incredibly atmospheric and real.

Travis Baldree has introduced me to a new subgenre of fantasy that I am obsessed with and want more of.
