Bookshops & Bonedust

This book might be part of the Legends & Lattes series.

Viv’s career with the renowned mercenary company Rackam’s Ravens isn’t going as planned. Wounded during the hunt for a powerful necromancer, she’s packed off against her will to recuperate in the sleepy beach town of Murk – so far from the action that she worries she’ll never be able to return to it. What’s a thwarted soldier of fortune to do?

Spending her hours at a struggling bookshop in the company of its foul-mouthed proprietor is the last thing Viv would have predicted. Even though it may be exactly …

Spending her hours at a struggling bookshop in the company of its foul-mouthed proprietor is the last thing Viv would have predicted. Even though it may be exactly what she needs. Still, adventure isn’t far away. A suspicious traveller in grey, a gnome with a chip on her shoulder, a summer fling and an improbable number of skeletons prove Murk to be more eventful than Viv could have ever expected.

Sometimes, right things happen at the wrong time. Sometimes, what we need isn’t what we seek. And sometimes, we find ourselves in the stories we experience together.

Set twenty years before the events of Legends & Lattes , Bookshops & Bonedust is a standalone cosy fantasy by BookTok sensation Travis Baldree about the power of good bookshops, great friends and the unexpected choices along the way.

I hoped for something cosy, relaxing and fun and was not disappointed.

4,0 stars

A fun read through a relaxing small town with great characters. I really like the slow pace which contrasts with the restlessness of the main character.

The prequel quest of sand

5,0 stars

This is a prequel book so you can read it before Legends & Lattes, but only until the epilogue and best to read L&L through. Such a nice relaxing story to see how Viv changed and grew before L&L, and how even in the middle of a quest there can be peace and growth.

Solid A.

4,0 stars

A solid follow-up (albeit a prequel) to Legends and Lattes. Just a much fun and just as cozy as the first one.

So cozy but still with big personal stakes

5,0 stars

A sequel every good as the first without being a repeat or derivative. A prequel that stands on its own. This was such a joy to read, and I hope there is more to come!

Cozy and sweet and I wish I could live there

5,0 stars

Sometimes you need something cozy and heartwarming where a dwarf and an orc can fall in love over pastries and 'moist' books. These books are the literary equivalent of a comfortable chair in front of a cheerful fire with a good story in your hand and a mug of coffee and some sweet treat on the table beside you while a pleasant rain tinkles to the ground outside. Cozy and warm and lovely.

Of course, now I need to immediately re-read Legends and Lattes.

Hatte für mich keine Magie

2,0 stars

Leider hat der zweite Teil bei mir nicht funktioniert und das obwohl ich sicher noch mehr auf Bücher aufspringe, als auf Kaffee. Es wollte kein Funken überspringen, so gar nicht. Die Story plätscherte, so gut es Baldree geschafft hatte, die Leidenschaft für Kaffee in Worte zu fassen, so wenig funktionierte es bei Bücher. Hinzukommt, dass die auch der einzige Unterschied zwischen den Geschichten ist. Beim ersten Teil war die Story schon dünn, aber der Zauber groß. Ohne Zauber bleibt nur die dünne Story. Schade.
