I read the first book but listened to this one. I think I prefer reading them, no offense to Travis Baldree. I liked this book significantly more than Legends and Lattes. It is still cozy fantasy while adding more action, more character growth, and honestly, I was just significantly more invested. The characters were great, the world building, etc. Cozy fantasies aren't always my favorite but this one is solidly written and I was engrossed in the story the whole time. Can't really ask for more.
