The battle-weary orc aims to start fresh, opening the first ever coffee shop in the city of Thune. I don’t read that many classic high-fantasy novels but there’s something about these classic covers that always get me and this one is no different.

Yes, the same Travis Baldree who narrated the audio books for Cradle and other fantasy series.

Viv is a wonderful character and there’s a softness to this fantasy that I’m absolutely loving so far-I have a feeling this one is definitely gonna be a winner for me! 😍Ĭan we also take a moment to appreciate this cover? I absolutely love the artwork by Carson Lowmiller. Legends & Lattes A Novel of High Fantasy and Low Stakes by Travis Baldree Paperback, 304 pages Published Nov. Legends & Lattes is Travis Baldree 's debut book.

I don’t know if there’s anything about this synopsis that doesn’t appeal to me! I mean, “High fantasy with a double-shot of self-reinvention”? I mean, I’m a double shot espresso girl myself! And “a hot cup of fantasy slice-of-life with a dollop of romantic forth”? A big dose of this, please! I was actually lucky enough to receive an ARC from the author last week (but we all know how my last week went) and so I’ve only got around to reading it now.
