Pros & Cons
Pros
The sheer randomness of this book is it's biggest strength. This is possibly the most cosiest and wholesome book i have read in years. A completely warm hug of a book if there ever was one.
It's a charming novel with characters to adore and a world that feels warm and kind. It's a wholesome little slice of life, no big set battles,. No big bad to fight, it very rarely moves outside the cafe.
Viv is an orc barbarian, best known for questing, fighting and asking questions later. After decades spent adventuring, former orc warrior viv enters he city of thune with a witching rod in hand.
A d&d session that snowballed into a full story. Thanks to netgalley and tor for providing me with an earc. Proper cheered my weekend right up.
Calamity the hob, tandri the succubus and thimble the ratkin are the main characters. They help viv open a coffee shop.
Highlights
Quality
It ticks all the boxes for fantasy, dnd vibes with the humour, the friendliness and just a lovely relaxing read!
Sure to full you with the warm and fuzzies, and a strong desire for cinnamon rolls.
… i’m not done with the coffee puns and references yet, sorry.
Unfortunately could not comment on the quality of the writing yet (i’m sure it’s great).
Price
Thanri is a succubus and her assistant but becomes so much more.
Shipping
In many way, it is like a fantasy version of the sculpted ship.
Packaging/appearance
However, product arrived badly damaged on rear cover, packaging undamaged.
Competitiveness
Along the way she gets a couple of employees, a couple more good friends and more ideas about where to go with her cofee shop.
This book does make you want a cinamon bun like mad though and a good cup of joe.
Thanks to netgalley and tor for providing me with an an earc.

Its worth mentioning that the low stakes advertised on the cover is not hyperbole there is genuine conflict and development in this story but do not expect a very tense or action packed story
