 The coziest fantasy book I have ever read, an ex adventurer Orc tries to open a coffee shop, and finds more than she bargained for.

There was so much hype surrounding this, I was almost afraid to read it in case it let me down.
My expectations? High. The results? Blown out of the water. I want to own this book. I want every edition of this. I want to frame it on my wall so I see it in the morning when I wake up. I want to roam around the city and go and visit a coffee shop with giant cinnamon rolls and a motley found family.

Legends & Lattes is a rare breed of writing that gives me hope. It makes me believe in life again, in getting out of bed and going to work. Books like this have a high readability because they restore my faith in humanity. It makes me believe everything will be okay again.

This book achieved for me what antidepressants did not.

Thank you Travis Baldree.


Also the cover is fantastic, love the vibes of a classic old school fantasy novel.
