Viv, a barbarian orc, has decided to leave her adventuring life behind. Fully trusting a lucky charm, she decides to open the first coffee shop the city of Thune has ever seen. Viv will need new allies to conquer every obstacle to achieve her dream.

With a charming array of characters, Legends & Lattes manages to keep you excited with an update on a coffee shop’s menu. Now I want to try every pastry mentioned in the book.

I love how they get to create these aromatic beverages ahead of their time thanks to gnomish ingenuity. Oh, the magic of gnomish technology!

There’s a blooming romance, but I didn’t catch the chemistry the rest of the characters seemed to. In the end, this is not a romantic story, but one of found family and new chapters.
