Call this more of a 3.5, but I’m rounding up for the lesbians.

I needed this. Just some nice, low-stakes slice of life of an orc lady opening a coffee shop and making friends. It didn’t leave much of an emotional impression, but the ride was a cozy one and the characters appealing. It’s like a book version of a Hallmark movie, but with a fantasy glaze.

One thing that struck me as amusing was how it seemed like there was a lot more emphasis and attention given to the pastries that Thimble makes as opposed to the actual coffee.

(Listened to the audiobook narrated by the author, and oh man. I would do anything to listen to that guy read more. He nailed it!)
