Another one where I fell in love instantly. It was just so. god. damn. cozy. As someone who’s wanted to own a little coffee shop/bookshop myself for as long as I can remember, hearing the story of Viv starting hers and the trials and tribulations which come with this was so welcome. 

The cast of characters was absolutely perfect

and I’m such a sucker for a slow-burning romance - give me MORE!

. You really do grow to love each and every character, their individual quirks, and the bonds that develop between them. It was lovely hearing about Viv’s backstory (including the little short story at the end - although it didn’t draw me in quite as much as the rest of the story), with a perspective you don’t often see from after the battles are done. 

Really, really cozy and well written, I loved it a lot. Definitely one to check out for fantasy and DND lovers with a love for coziness and wholesomeness.
