After a lifetime of bounties and bloodshed, Viv is hanging up her sword for the last time.

The battle-weary orc aims to start fresh, opening the first ever coffee shop in the city of Thune. But old and new rivals stand in the way of success — not to mention the fact that no one has the faintest idea what coffee actually is.

If Viv wants to put the blade behind her and make her plans a reality, she won't be able to go it alone.

But the true rewards of the uncharted path are the travelers you meet along the way. And whether drawn together by ancient magic, flaky pastry, or a freshly brewed cup, they may become partners, family, and something deeper than she ever could have dreamed.

It's not an electric guitar, it's a thaumic lute

Really enjoyable cozy fantasy, maybe a little predictable but that can be part of the fun. As with the thaumic lute. If the author is using a little steampunk to explain how a pre-industrial, magic-using society has espresso machines, why not electric guitars too?

Also kudos to the author for reading his own audio book and doing a good job of it. I noticed he also owns the production rights to it. Good for him.

A Cozy Cup of Warmth

This is a fantastic January read for when the weather's bad and you're curled up inside. The plot is very slice of life focused, and it's as warm and cozy as the drinks described in the novel itself. Highly reccommend for anyone who feels they need to escape from real life for a couple of hours.
