Legends & Lattes by Travis Baldree
3.75

I thought this was a super cute book about an orc who discovered coffee and wanted to start a new life opening a coffee shop. Though this has fantasy elements, it was not super world building which I appreciated as I just don't have the imagination to keep up with all that goes on in other fantasy books. I liked that you got to see the progression of Viv's vision and how it came to life. And it definitely made me want to learn how to make proper coffee so I could also run my own coffee shop. I read and paired this with the audio. It was a quick listen (6 hours) and I thought the pacing was fine. It did get some used to having a male narrator voice whom I presume was a female main character. Overall I recommend this if you are looking to get into the fantasy world without being too overwhelming and if you have a love of coffee! Also had a romance but it was not the biggest component and didn't really come to life until closer to the end.
