Legends & Lattes by Travis Baldree
3.0

If I had to sum this book up in one sentence: It was a cute story that while I appreciated and enjoyed it, it just simply wasn’t for me. 

Fun Fact About Me: I will fall victim to the hype. EVERY. SINGLE. TIME.

Fun Fact For You: Don’t go based off my review, alone. 


Its only been a little over a week since I finished this book & I can’t even remember the character’s names for the review. But, what I do remember is that in my opinion this is 3/4 a “slice of life” book with about 1/4 plot. 

A seasoned warrior decides it’s time to settle down & so she finds her roots in an un-expecting town where she opens a coffee shop where they’ve never heard of coffee. She needs help. “ENTER HELP” who low key/subtly flirts with the coffee shop owner. 

The coffee shop grows. They draw on a chalkboard a lot. They start adding pastries. A lot of new characters come and go. Some bad shit goes down. Life ends happily. 

And folks, that’s about it. I mean, obviously, it’s a little more detailed than that. And there is some cute pining and sweet moments where true friendship is depicted. It shows that even the darkest days can be made bright again.  It’s not all bad. 

I found myself eagerly moving through the book but I’m not sure if that’s because:
A) Maybe I did like it more than I thought?
B) I wanted to see if something significant was actually going to happen. 
C) I wanted it to be over 

Please don’t come at me for this review. Again, it was a cute book; it just wasn’t for me. I think this confirms, sci-fi/fantasy/fae worlds are just not my thing. And that’s OK. If it’s you’re thing, you’ll love it. 

Enjoy! 😊
