As with Legends & Lattes, I absolutely loved this book. Over 300 pages and the only thing I can find to fault it on was the technicality of poisonous toads, so much of it was good. I particularly liked Satchel, which seems weird with only a basic explanation of the character.

Not as great as the first, but still delightful nonetheless. I loved Fern, but something about the timing of some of her cursing didn’t work for me. Very cute, very cozy, not a ton of action, but still very fun

I loved this book even more than Legends & Lattes! This has all the cozy, high fantasy vibes of the Baldree’s first book but I really liked the pacing of this one. I also felt like the higher stakes/adventuring plot line was strung nicely throughout the entire book. I want to read Legends & Lattes again because I would like it more than my first read through, but I think I connected more with the small town, bookstore vibes more than the big city coffeeshop vibes too. I need more books just like this!!

The pace was a bit uneven at times and the climax is very neat and tidy, even for a cozy, but overall this was a sweet story about friends, first loves, finding oneself, and figuring out how to say goodbye to people and places a big part of you would rather not leave. The characters come to life delightfully, and it's hard to pick a favorite.

I prefer Legends and Lattes, but this was still a good time and I would very happily read more from this world. :)
