More wholesome cosiness - 10/10. I loved being back with Viv.

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!

I really well enjoyed the accompanying book Legends and Lattes which was published first. I of course needed to pick up its prequel. I found I enjoyed this book even more than the first. A little more action than the previous book but I would still solidly place this book in the cozy fantasy genre. I found myself breezing through the pages and reading during breaks at work just to finish. I again would recommend this for a relaxing read.

This prequel to Legends & Lattes doesn't have quite the same charm as that novel, but it's still a fun, low-stakes fantasy. The characters in this one were the highlight, with the ratfolk and bone homunculus being delights.
