A Novel of High Fantasy and Low Stakes. After a lifetime of bounties and bloodshed, Viv is hanging up her sword for the last time. The battle-weary orc aims to start fresh, opening the first ever coffee shop in the city of Thune. But old and new rivals stand in the way of success—not to mention the fact that no one has the faintest idea what coffee actually is. If Viv wants to put the blade behind her and make her plans a reality, she won't be able to go it alone. But the true rewards of the uncharted path are the travelers you meet along the way. And whether drawn together by ancient magic, flaky pastry, or a freshly brewed cup, they may become partners, family, and something deeper than she ever could have dreamed.
Wow, what a delight! I thought I had read "cosy fiction" before, but this was a new level of comfort fantasy. I really enjoyed it right from the beginning, and I feel like it gave me a new appreciation for the simple things, like a cup of coffee. I will definitely be on the look out for more reads like this. It satisfied a craving I didn't even know I had! I would definitely appreciate any recommendations of similar reads!
I've had this on my list for ages and I really needed a cosy read so finally started it. I'm really enjoying it so far! I'm liking the dynamic between the characters.
It was a pleasant fantasy that gives a person that warm feeling while reading or listening to it. The characters are loveable and the world building is great. Wonderful plot with delightful ending! A warm fuzzy book when I needed it. Narration is awesome as usual!
