- My Thoughts: Cozy fantasy is now all I ever want to read. Ever.
Viv, a battle-weary orc, is set to open the first coffee shop in Thune after a lifetime of battles and bloodshed. However, she faces obstacles from old and new rivals, as well as a lack of knowledge about coffee. To make her plans a reality, Viv must work with travelers who may become partners, family, or something deeper than she could have imagined.
There is something so relaxing about reading a book you know will end well. While I love tension, cozy plotlines are a breath of fresh air.
Not that there aren’t ups and downs. Travis does a great job of weaving light tension into the coziest of atmospheres. You will be instantly transported into his world and, once sitting at the coffee shop, will never want to leave.
I would recommend this to anyone who loves fantasy, D&D, and the vibes you get from your local coffeehouse. Wholesome and relaxing, you’ll find yourself picking this up every year.

“I love you, Gretchen Lang. You are my reflection and my shadow and I will not let you go. We are bound together forever and ever! Until Halley’s Comet comes around again. I love you dearly and I love you queerly and no demon is bigger than this!”
